Projection: need to automatically qualify

Oregon State's NCAA Tournament hopes are skating on thin ice. The Beavers snagged a shocker over a top-notch Arizona squad showing they can compete with the best, but these moments have been fleeting in a season fraught with inconsistency. Dropping games to squads like Stanford and California, who aren't exactly setting the world on fire, hampers their resume significantly. The defense has shown moments of solidity; however, it's the offensive struggles, particular in scoring droughts against higher caliber defenses like Colorado, that highlights their vulnerabilities. Their best bet is to harness the energy from underdog victories and hope for a Cinderella run through the Pac-12 Tournament because that automatic bid is their clearest shot at dancing in March.
