MEN'S BASKETBALL CORVALLIS - Oregon State is scheduled to play at least 32 men's basketball games this season. The first is tonight, against a familiar foe - Portland.

"It's been three weeks," fifth-year Oregon State coach Jay John said. "It's time It's Time was a successful political campaign run by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) under Gough Whitlam at the 1972 election in Australia. Campaigning on the perceived need for change after 23 years of conservative (Liberal Party of Australia) government, Labor put forward a to start playing other people. Our guys are getting bored going against each other." The event, the first in-season tournament OSU has hosted since 1959-60, resumes Saturday with Portland playing Cal Poly at 4:30 p.m. and the Beavers against Southeastern Louisiana at 7:15 p.m. On Sunday, Portland plays Southeastern Louisiana at 11:30 a.m. and OSU plays Cal Poly at 2 p.m. "Three games in three days," John said, "but what we'll get at the end are some strides forward in terms of game experience." The Beavers lead the series against Portland 49-16, but last season lost 76-62 to the Pilots at Portland. A West Coast Conference team, the Pilots were 11-18 last year. Oregon State struggled through an injury-marred season in 2005-06, finishing 13-18 overall and 5-13 in the Pac-10. The Beavers have a 19-game home schedule, never leave Corvallis in December and play 10 of their 13 nonconference games at Gill. Oregon State is armed with one scholarship senior, 6-foot-9 center Kyle Jeffers, five juniors, two sophomores and six freshmen. An experienced front line of Jeffers, and forwards Marcel Love and Sasa Cuic, is one key to OSU's hopes for a successful season. The guards are the unknowns. Redshirt freshman Josh Tarver, who missed last season because of a broken foot, is the point guard. Wesley Washington, a junior who transferred to OSU from Compton (Calif.) Community College and played much of the time at point guard last season, returns to his regular shooting guard The Shooting guard (SG), also known as the two or off guard,[1] is one of five traditional positions on a basketball team. Players of the position are often shorter, leaner, and quicker than forwards. position this year. "Our guards are inexperienced," John said. "We need to get them used to playing." Injuries have slowed two OSU players - junior guard Angelo Tsagarakis (back spasms) and freshman guard/forward Seth Tarver (knee sprain sprain, stretching or wrenching of the ligaments and tendons of a joint, often with rupture of the tissues but without dislocation. Sprains occur most commonly at the ankle, knee, or wrist joints, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty in moving the involved joint. ) - but both are expected to be available for tonight's game. Tournament tickets are $15 or $9 each for each day. A three-day pass sells for $24 but must be purchased by 4:30 p.m. today. Tickets are available Gill Coliseum. Oregon State's three games will be aired on radio stations KKNX-AM (840) and KNND-AM (1400). |
