Oregon State’s underdog story 

Picked to finish last in the Pac-12 in the preseason, Oregon State did Saturday what it’s done for more than two weeks straight in ousting Loyola Chicago as an underdog: survive and advance. It certainly wasn’t pretty, but the Beavers’ 65-58 win over the eighth-seeded Ramblers was their sixth consecutive win in an elimination game. What started in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament with an OT win has now turned into one of the most historic runs in program history, and Oregon State isn’t done yet.

Prediction:

Why Oregon State Will Win

The Beavers are shooting the lights out over the last few games – and it’s not even just a percentage thing.

They were great from three in the Pac-12 Championship against Colorado and in the first round against Tennessee, but it was more about the timing of their makes in the 80-70 win over Oklahoma State.

Why Loyola Will Win

Illinois did its part to gag away the 71-58 loss to Loyola, but the Rambler defense had a whole lot do with making one of the best teams in college basketball stay in its shell.
