Oregon State's resume raises concerns, especially with a mixed record against both strong and weak opponents. While the victories over teams like UC Irvine and Utah Tech show they can handle lower-tier competition, a narrow loss to Oregon demonstrates vulnerability against better teams. Their performance in upcoming games is crucial; facing Gonzaga and St. Mary's will be key tests, and they need to secure wins against significantly weaker teams like Portland and San Diego to boost their overall standing. The inconsistency in offensive performance, alongside a solid defensive ranking, leaves them needing a stronger offensive showing in high-stakes games to solidify their position.
