| Ready for some more men’s hoops? The Washington and Oregon schools do battle tonight, starting with Washington State hitting the road to take on the 16th-ranked Ducks for a 6:30 p.m. PT tilt tonight. The Cougs enter the game 1-4 in conference play, while Oregon is the lone remaining undefeated team in the Pac-12 season. | |
| Washington lost its first Pac-12 game Saturday night at home against Utah, but the Huskies can still win their fourth straight on the road by beating Oregon State at Gill Coliseum. The Beavs and Huskies are slated for an 8:30 p.m. PT start. | |
| Craig Robinson will try to lead the Beavs to their first conference win of the year, but he spent Inauguration Day photobombing Barack Obama.

| The Colorado men got a much-needed road win at Washington State last weekend, but the Buffs only had nine assists as a team in the win over the Cougs. Overall, CU is last in the Pac in assists per game as a team, so it should come as no surprise that Tad Boyle wants more assists, but that doesn’t mean his team is selfish. Four Buffs average at least 10 points per game. | |
