Oregon State nearly crashed out to Long Beach State today, but averted a disaster, winning 56-55. That would have been bad news for the Pac-12 with the defending regular season conference champions and conference tournament finalists being ousted by a #15 seed.

Even so, between Oregon State's and Stanford's 1st round performances, we all should be wondering whether this is mental or self-deception?  I think it is mental, not really being ready for a "lowly" 15.

ASU won.  More games soon.  I'll even be pulling for Cal.
