Beavers pull out Much needed Win over USC.

By Hunter Hendrickson

2007. That was the last time USC has beat Oregon State at Gill Colisium in Corvallis Oregon. The same year we had 0 Pac-10 wins. The President was George W Bush, gas was about 2.80 a gallon, and the #1 hit song was, "Hey there Delilah." by the Plain white T's. Now, In 2011, The President is Barack Obama, gas is still 2.80$ and The #1 song is Only Girl, by Rihanna. Anyways, Oregon state trying to keep there Pac-10 hopes alive vs. the USC Trojans. They were able to do that 80-76. Heres what happened.....

A HUGE reason why Oregon state (8-9,3-3 in Pac-10) won this was because Jared Cunningham Efforts, he had 24 points and some clutch baskets in the Last Mintues to earn MVP on the game.

For the Trojans, (10-8, 2-3 in Pac-10), Nikola Vucevic had 26 points and 14 rebounds for a Double-Double. Jio Fontan had 14 points and 6 assist.

Besides Jared Cunningham, The Beavers had 3 other men in Double figures, The 2 seinors, Lathen Wallace had 12 points and Calvin Haynes had 11. Omari Johnson had a Double Double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

The Beavers had a 16 point lead at half but blew it and Joe Burton had a Perfect Back door-No look pass to Cunningham for a Lay in. Seconds Later, Calvin Haynes stole the ball and layed it in for a 71-62 lead. The Beavers never trailed again. I was at the game, and When Calvin Haynes stole the ball away for a Lay in, it was at least louder than Autzen Stadium.

So, Oregon state goes to 8-9 and a even 3-3 in the Pac-10. Next, The Beavs will play at home vs. the Oregon Ducks. The Civil war!
