The Cougars have not played a game since the Beavers beat them in Corvallis back on November 1st. The win over Washington State was especially impressive for Oregon State considering the Cougars had gone to the wire against No. 6 Ole Miss and No. 20 Virginia.

A developing story for the Cougars is their poor play in fourth quarters with a score differential of minus 40 in fourth quarters.

"We need to come out of half better with a with a different level of focus," Cougs head coach Jimmy Rogers noted on Monday during his latest media availability in Pullman.

The Cougars will have a few warmup games before they welcome Oregon State to Pullman, as they play Louisiana Tech and they have a cross-country road trip to Virginia to take on James Madison. The Cougars and Beavers will face off on November 29th - it will be the last game played between the two sides as the “Pac-2.”
