7. Oregon State Beavers (12-7, 4-3 Pac-12) LW: 4

The Oregon schools seem to be in sync this year, as both of the teams seem to have been on a down turn in the past four games.

Losers of three of their last four matchups, the Beavers have gone from one of the surprise Pac-12 players into just another team in a below-average basketball conference.

Behind the three-headed monster of Tres Tinkle (20 PPG) Stephen Thompson Jr.(15.9 PPG) and Ethan Thompson (13.5 PPG), the Beavers do field a formidable offensive trio.

Their previous three losses came at the hands of some of the Pac-12’s best teams, too, falling to the usual suspects in the upper half of the conference in Arizona, Arizona State and Washington.

Looking forward, the Beavers still have a good chance at finishing the conference season as a top-6, maybe even top-5 seed. Their next four matchups are against Utah, Colorado, Cal and Stanford. Each game offers plenty of opportunity to get back to winning ways, as the Beavers’ talent should result in some victories.
