Razor-thin, Defense 1st | Defense Only Beavers continue to wear down
Under the inevitable exposure that OSU’s Road-Heavy 2nd Half of Conference Schedule
OSU clings to their coveted #1 eFG% Conference Defense ranking
OSU’s 2014-2015 overachievement remains remarkable
Yet these Beavers stark lack of Depth & Conference-level talent past GP II
Is showing more & more signs of cracking thru the ice underneath them
Especially on Defense
Even in OSU’s only win over the last 5 Games vs Colorado last Saturday
Oregon State allowed CU an alarming 46 Second Half Points
Oregon State allowed Stanford 47 Second Half Points last game
OSU allowed more points each ‘quarter’ in each of their last 2 games
CU at OSU scored 4, 8, 16, 30
Stan vs OSU scored 12, 16, 19 & 28
This is a sharp reversal of OSU’s Defensive proficiency trend
One that truly indicates the Beavers slip into a closer reflection of their ‘natural’ order
Overall, OSU’s Olaf Shaftenaar’s production is symptomatic of the Beavs Offensive issues
w/#2 Scorer Vic Robbins suspended indefinitely, (2nd DUII)
Schaftenaar was relegated to the expected ONLY real true perimeter threat
Schaftenaar entered Conference Play as OSU’s #2 Leading Scorer
Schaftenaar has scored 2.9 PPG in OSU”s last 9
Teams have run Schaftenaar off the 3-Point Line,
Leaned, Hedged, Overplayed, Doubled, Boxed, & harassed him
Over his Last 9 Games, Schaftenaar is shooting 10.7% from Deep (3-28) from Deep
Schaftenaar is shooting 19.5% FG overall (8-41)
Schaftenaar has not stepped to FT Line in 5 Games (30.7 MPG Avg)
Olaf Schaftenaar was finally replaced by Jarmal Reed vs Stanford
Oregon State’s Gary Payton II is the bright spot for OSU
GP II was the only Beaver in Double-Figures at Stanford on Thursday
Cal has L 3 in a Row, those games came at UU, at Stn, vs OR
Bears covered 5 of 8 & Cal is playing pretty consistent Basketball
Main issue for OSU is a high-octane Bear Backcourt
Cal Ty Wallace & Conference Top 3 Ball Shooting (40 Made) Matthews
Taxing matchup for GP II & Malcolm Duvivier
Payton scored 17 yet ‘chased’ Stanford’s Randall & Brown for 36 Min on Thursday
Wallace & Matthews’ 15 PPG each are part of the bigger issue w/facing Cal
The Bears’ Bigs, especially Sr Kravish (37 Points in his last 2 Games)
Will test OSU’s suddenly shorter Starting lineup (Reed the ‘4’ is 6-07)
Cal should roll Beavers on Senior Day in Berkeley
