Season Outlook and Program History

Under Wayne Tinkle, who has led the program through 12 seasons including a historic Elite Eight run in 2021, the Beavers are working to re-establish themselves as a postseason threat. The program holds an all-time record of 1858-1460 across 125 seasons, boasting 18 NCAA tournament appearances and 14 conference championships.

While the men’s team battles for consistency, the broader “Beaver Nation” has seen a surge in excitement across the department, with the women’s basketball program also making significant strides this winter. For the men, the focus remains on defensive execution and capitalizing on the scoring depth shown in their recent 90-point outburst.

Tickets for upcoming home games at Gill Coliseum remain available through the Oregon State Athletics ticket office, with the university offering group rates to encourage local support as the Beavers push toward the WCC Tournament.
