As expected, Robinson gets out coached....That was the Beavers' game to win, but credit to Montgomery for making the halftime adjustments.... IMO, he's the best coach in the league and it's not even close.

Thanks, Beav. An intense game. I agree that Monty outcoached Robinson, but then he outcoaches pretty much everyone.

One gets the feeling that if your coach and our coach traded rosters, we would still win. You have some nice pieces on your team.

In football, it's the opposite.

After the way you guys came out and could not miss, I was close to chalking this one up. I wasn't even mad either. You guy simply were on fire in the first half -- and we didn't play that poorly. I thought maybe on Gary Payton day, you guys wouldn't let him see a loss.

I was pretty happy to split on the road (that was my goal, thinking we would lose at Eugene and win at Corvallis). But that early run in the 2nd half was just amazing to see. Now I'm greedy and hoping to stay undefeated in league play as long as we can. I appreciate the graciousness.

There IS still a talent differential that favors Cal, so it's not entirely Robinson's fault. On the offensive end, there's really only 1.5 offensive weapons for OSU. The ball distribution is also lacking due to the lack of a good distributor. But I really do like the direction OSU basketball is headed from a physical talent perspective.

That said, it was a GREAT win for us, and Monty did a great job waking up his team and scheming Nelson out of the 2nd half.

That run to start the second half was like a delicious piece of candy melting in your mouth. The way the Bears played, the lead seemed to disappear almost on its own.

nice to have a visitors from another team

I don't know what "1.5" meant by the other poster.

Roberto Nelson is as good as advertised. I hope OSU can somehow get into the tournament as there are a lot of vets on the team that deserve to get there.

Brandt was a total beast. Basically unstoppable.

I think you guys are going to surprise a lot of teams, especially at home.
