The Beavers take a five-game winning streak into tonight's game at Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne Fort Wayne, city (1990 pop. 173,072), seat of Allen co., NE Ind., where the St. Joseph and St. Marys rivers join to form the Maumee River; inc. 1840. It is the second largest city in the state, a major railroad and shipping point, a wholesale and distribution hub, , the first stop on a two-game road trip that ends Sunday at Kansas State. While five-game winning streaks were common during Oregon State's successful run through the 1980s, the Beavers' current streak is the team's longest since the 1992-93 season. "This is my fourth year and it is the best we have done so far," senior forward Brian Jackson Brian Jackson is the name of:
The last time Oregon State had a winning streak last this long was a seven-game run in 1993. That streak included wins over No. 25 Brigham Young, No. 19 California and No. 15 UCLA UCLA University of California at Los Angeles UCLA University Center for Learning Assistance (Illinois State University) UCLA University of Carrollton, TX and Lower Addison, TX .

IPFW Internet Protocol Firewall (2-9) and Kansas State (4-4) are also struggling early this season. "We've got Pac-10 in a few weeks and we are in a pattern right now that is not going to be good enough in a couple of weeks," Oregon State coach Jay John said. "We have to become more efficient on offense and find some more breakthrough guys on offense." Ricci and Jackson are carrying the Beavers right now, averaging 17.7 and 16.3 points per game, respectively. That's nearly half of the 70.2 points per game the Beavers are scoring. "Right now, we're the Philip and Brian show," John said. "We've got to be able to find a way to get our perimeter guys more comfortable shooting the ball." Ricci and Jackson have combined to make 74-of-131 shots from the field, a 56.5 percentage. The rest of the team is a combined 73-for-201 shooting, a percentage of 36.3. Jimmie Haywood, the senior guard who John labeled as OSU's best shooter before the season, is shooting 36.5 percent from the field. Haywood, who is 9-for-30 from three-point range, is averaging 10.7 points per game. Forward Floyd North and point guard Lamar Hurd are each shooting less than 38 percent from the field, while guard J.S. Nash is shooting 23.1 percent. One player who could help OSU's shooting woes is true freshman True freshman is a term used in NCAA sports, indicating that an athlete is playing the sport in his first year of college, rather than redshirting for one or more years to protect future college eligibility. Chris Stephens, who hit a game-tying three-pointer in the final minute of the Beavers' 53-50 win over Portland State on Monday. Stephens, a 6-foot-1 guard from Portland's Madison High, has made only 2-of-6 shot attempts this year, but John went to him in a clutch situation against the Vikings. "As soon as his recognition on defense evolves, he is going to be able to play more," John said. "He's not shy about shooting. As a freshman, you look for a breakthrough, and this could be a breakthrough in regards to his confidence." As for the Beavers' confidence, it too is rising with cautious optimism as they count down the final two weeks before the start of conference play. "It feels good to win, but we have to carry this over to the Pac-10," Ricci said. "These games don't mean anything in preseason. It means something for our record, but for Pac-10, we want to go in winning and go out as winners too." IPFW is in its second season of Division I basketball since moving up from Division II. The Mastadons are an independent team playing a full Division I schedule this year for the first time.
