Houston vs Oregon State Preview
Oregon State is the highest seed remaining in the NCAA Tournament and look to continue their run against Houston in the Elite Eight. The Beavers have knocked off Tennesee, Oklahoma State, and — most recently — Loyola Chicago in the Sweet 16.
It’s been quite the run for Oklahoma State, a team picked to finish dead last in the Pac-12 at the start of the year. The Beavers are seeking their Final Four appearance since 1963.
“They just want to keep riding the wave,” Beavers coach Wayne Tinkle said. “We did use the fact we were picked 12th in the Pac-12 this year,” Tinkle added, “but we haven’t made a big deal about the 12th seed. I don’t want to throw too much at them. They’ll see it. We just have to keep our feet on the ground.”
Ethan Thompson has led the way for Oregon State, averaging 15.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. He came up big with a team-high 22 against the Ramblers. Tinkle said its the team’s grit that has propelled them to this point.
“We never cut any corners to try to win at all costs,” Tinkle said. “We just kept our nose to the grindstone. We kept challenging each other to do a better job on the road, recruiting, in practice.
“We’ve laid a lot of foundation over the course of the last 6½ years. It’s a credit to all those guys that were here before us to get us to this position. I’ll tell you, it’s a great deal, but we’re not surprised.”
Houston has lost just once since the start of February and looked extra-sharp in a dismantling of Syracuse in the Sweet 16, picking apart the Orange zone-defense for a 62-46 win.
“Really proud of my team. We had a great week of preparation,” Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. “Obviously everybody works versus the zone, but I thought we spent more time defensively. Taking away the 3-point line, that’s not easy to do. You say go out there and stop somebody. You’ve got to have clear responsibilities and great communication and you can’t get hit by screens.
“We took care of the ball. We passed it. We executed well. And our defense was solid all night. Holding that team to 46 points is not easy. So hats off to my kids. I’m really proud of them.”
Houston is an eight-point favorite for the matchup, with the total set at 129.5 points. The total has gone over in seven of Oregon State’s last nine games. Houston is 15-5 against the spread in their last 20 games.
