This will be the 14th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 12-1 in their conference games this season.

Oregon State is coming into this game having an awful season this year. They are only 1-12 against conference opponents this season and they are still a winless 0-8 on the road. They are going up against an Arizona side that is 22-2 overall this season and ranked number 3 in the nation. They are unbeaten at home with a 13-0 record and they are even 12-1 against conference opponents. They are by far the best team in the Pac-12 this season and they have won 6 straight games coming into this one, 5 of those wins coming by double digits. Oregon State really has no chance to keep up with Arizona in this game and this should be a 20 point smashing or even more than that here at home. Arizona will blow Oregon State out here and win by north of 20 points.

“If we’d have competed a little bit more on the glass I think it could have been a little different story, shot it a little bit better. We’re going to watch the film and see that there were some bright moments. Just thought we couldn’t sustain it because fatigue set in.” - Wayne Tinkle on his team’s loss against Colorado.

 

 

“Washington gets a ton of credit, they came out and they were playing extremely hard and they got some shots to fall early, and we were a little bit back on our heels. And their zone was really aggressive, so it just took us a little bit of time to work ourselves into that game.” - Tommy Lloyd on his team’s win against Washington.
