Projection: need to automatically qualify

Oregon State’s résumé is anchored by a string of tight wins over the likes of North Dakota State and North Texas and a strong-looking win over Vermont that show the team can close games, but those positives are undercut by a neutral-site skid that included Evansville, Iona and Massachusetts, a home stumble to Cal Baptist and a rough trip to Oregon. The remaining slate — headlined by road tests at Arizona State and Saint Mary’s and high-profile matchups with Gonzaga, Santa Clara and San Francisco — gives the Beavers clear chances to erase the blemishes with true road or neutral victories, while any additional bad losses in those spots would only harden the doubts created by the current résumé.
