What to Know
After two games on the road, the Oregon State Beavers are heading back home. Oregon State and the Utah Utes will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 11 p.m. ET Thursday at Gill Coliseum. After these two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
After constant struggles on the road, the Beavers have finally found some success away from home. They took their contest against the California Golden Bears on Sunday by a conclusive 68-48 score. Oregon State can attribute much of their success to guard Jordan Pope, who had 19 points.
Meanwhile, everything went Utah’s way against the Washington Huskies on Saturday as they made off with an 86-61 win. It was another big night for Utah’s center Branden Carlson, who had 25 points in addition to eight boards and three blocks.
Oregon State is expected to lose this next one by 8. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 8-4 against the spread when expected to lose.
Their wins bumped the Beavers to 8-12 and the Utes to 14-7. With both Oregon State and Utah swaggering in after impressive performances, it will be interesting to see which team steps up to teach the other some humility.
