Clash of the State: Beavers Set to Battle Ducks at Gill Coliseum

As the Oregon State Beavers prepare to host their state rivals, the Oregon Ducks, at Gill Coliseum, fans are in for a thrilling encounter. The Beavers have been on an upward trajectory recently, showcasing a series of performances that have left their supporters optimistic.

In their last game against Idaho State Bengals, the Beavers dominated with a convincing 76-57 victory. Their offense was particularly impressive, shooting 51 percent from the field and 38 percent from beyond the arc. The team's defensive prowess was also on display as they racked up 7 blocks and 10 steals while forcing their opponents into committing 13 turnovers.

The preceding game saw a tighter contest against UTSA Roadrunners where the Beavers edged out with a narrow win of 66-65. Despite shooting slightly lower at 45 percent from the field and an exceptional 47 percent from three-point range, they demonstrated resilience by overcoming a halftime deficit.

Against Utah Valley Wolverines earlier in December, Oregon State once again emerged victorious with a scoreline of 74-71. Maintaining over fifty percent shooting accuracy both from two-point range (58 percent) and overall field goals (51 percent), they've proven that consistency is becoming part of their identity this season.

The upcoming game promises to be intense as both teams vie for state bragging rights. With recent performances suggesting an offensive clinic by the Beavers coupled with solid defense and rebounding abilities – averaging over thirty rebounds per game – fans can expect another competitive showing.

The showdown is scheduled for February 18th at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis. Fans can catch all the action live on Pac-12 Network starting at local time (3:00 AM GMT).
