State of the Beavs: Tournament Time For Oregon State Baseball

Oregon State baseball may not have done enough to host a regional in Corvallis, but they won't have to travel too far from home. The Beavers begin the NCAA Tournament in Eugene alongside the Oregon Ducks, Washington State, and Yale. That's the bulk of the discussion this week on the State of the Beavs podcast.

Your host Matt Bagley is joined by On SI contributors John Severs and Ben Pahl for a roundtable chat about what to expect from the Eugene Regional.

Matt also offers his perspective on that development from the world of college athletics. Go Beavs.
