HOOPS: Mystifying loss for Beavs

OSU ANNOUNCER MIKE PARKER described it as a "mystifying" loss. After all, WSU hadn't won a road game in conference play this year, Oregon State appeared to be on an upswing winning three of their past four and the oddsmakers had the Beavs heavily favored. But with about five minutes to go in the first half, it all fell apart in the 83-73 loss, the fourth consecutive defeat in the series for OSU.
