Defense wins championships, but you can't win if you can't score!
And here in the Pac-12, yes, OSU is shooting lights out, hitting 3s from all over. That's our penultimate game in the Pac-12 regular season, and right now, they are in 2nd place, tied with Colorado but with the tiebreaker over the Buffs. If Stanford wins today, we stay in 1st all alone. If we lose, it's a 3 way tie for 1st, with having to go to the next tiebreaker down since OSU has it over Colorado, Stanford over OSU, Colorado over Stanford. That game in Corvallis is going to be critical. Glad we're going to be there for it!
Agree on surprise it's a blowout, though I thought that it was likely that OSU would win this one. They've been hot lately, since their loss to us in the Tara 1203 game. Wow, can pre-season polls get things wrong. OSU was picked to finish 10/9 in the pre-season media/coaches polls.
What an end of game, OSU 65, Colorado 59 -- so didn't end as a blowout at all. But still, a win for OSU, and if the Cand can beat WSU, we have 1st place back all to ourselves. OSU and Colorado will be tied for 2nd, with OSU with the tiebreaker. These upcoming last games in the conference season are going to be wild. What a last season for the Pac-12.
