Ouch! Of all the Pac-12 teams that made it into the Big Dance, Oregon State got the lowest seed, a #12. They get 5-seed Tennessee in their opening game. That means we can root for a #12 over #5 upset to start with.AllWeatherFan said:Great job, Tinks. Go Beavs!

Tennessee’s once-promising season has ended with a thud.
The No. 5 seed Volunteers were beaten 70-56 by No. 12 Oregon State in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday. And the score reflects how not close the game was throughout. Tennessee was thoroughly outplayed by the Pac-12 tournament champions.
Oregon State (18-12) got into the tournament because it won three-straight games in the Pac-12 tournament and pushed its winning streak to four with the easy win. It’s the first victory for the Beavers in the NCAA tournament since 1982 when OSU advanced to the Elite Eight.
Tennessee was ice cold from the field. The Volunteers shot just 35 percent and made only five three-pointers as Oregon State was a prolific 10-of-21 from behind the arc. Forward Yves Pons — Tennessee’s best defender — was in foul trouble for most of the game and had just 1 rebound.
