Having grown up in Pocatello, home of the Idaho State Bengals, John Severs is a lifelong fan of small schools that don't always deliver a lot of wins. Prior to writing for On SI, John covered the Beavers for SB Nation's Oregon State blog Building the Dam, with a focus on baseball and women's basketball. When he's not watching college sports he spends most of his time reading, playing video games and annoying cats.

With less than 10 minutes to go the game was tied, which would have meant the conference championship would go to the Beavers. San Diego wouldn't quit, with two goals late giving the Toreros a fourth consecutive WCC crown.
