Before today they were 57-0 all time in the NCAA tournament on their home floor. Now they are 57-1.
Have to say though they got a tough draw. Oregon State is one of the best 16 teams in the nation, but was not considered for a national top 16 seed because of their awful non conference schedule, and the resulting mediocre RPI ranking. They were under seeded for that reason, same as Maryland has been under seeded two years in a row now because their coach continues to schedule mostly cupcakes in non conference play.
It worked out ok for Oregon State today because they played a head case UT team that routinely squanders their superior talent and is poorly coached. But it's not the way you want to prepare for the NCAA tournament.
