2011-2012 Oregon State Beavers College Basketball Preview:
Last year, it seemed as if the Beavers and head coach Craig Robinson were going to break out. However, a few bad breaks led to a sub-par season, but not one without glimpses of promise. With a healthy roster, Corvalis is looking to get rocking this year.
For OSU to be successful, they will need to get another outstanding year from junior guard Jared Cunningham. The Oakland native was selected to the All-Pac-10 second team thanks to a 14.2 ppg average and 85 steals in the year, breaking Gary Payton’s record for sophomores. Hybrid forward/guard and sophomore Roberto Nelson will be Cunningham’s wing man, and a player Robinson hopes will be more in line with the 34-point outburst he showed against Arizona State last year.
While the backcourt gets much of the notoriety, it’s the front court that will decide how far the team goes. Junior center Joe Burton has a good record distributing the rock, actually leading the team last year with 2.4 assists per game. If the ball rotation continues to refine throughout the year and the inside-outside game develops better than last year, the Beavers could be the sleeper pick in the Pac-12 this year.
