Oregon State will take six-shot lead into final round at Bandon Dunes Championship

After two rounds at Bandon Dunes Resort’s Pacific Dunes Course, the Beavers lead the Bandon Dunes Championship by six shots.

Oregon State is on familiar turf this week in the Pacific Northwest. After two rounds at Bandon Dunes Resort’s Pacific Dunes Course, the Beavers lead the Bandon Dunes Championship by six shots. Oregon State, at 10 under, is the only team that has made it to double-digits under par at this point, but Oregon is close behind at 4 under.

Both teams posted 7-under 277 in the second round.

“Overall another really good job by the team today,” Oregon State coach Jon Reehoorn said. “We had some moments where we ran into some trouble, but they were not fazed by it and responded really nice.

“We’ve been in this position on a few occasions this year, and the message to the team will be to simply do what we do.”

The Beavers won twice this fall, including at their own event at Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis. This spring, Oregon State’s road has been as difficult as anyone’s. Starts at the Amer Ari and the Prestige preceded the trip to Bandon Dunes.

Oregon State is No. 45 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings.

Sophomore Carson Barry, the reigning Idaho Amateur champion and a PNGA Amateur semifinalist, is 4 under through 36 holes and only one shot off the lead. He’s sandwiched by familiar names. UCLA junior Devon Bling, runner-up at the 2019 U.S. Amateur, is 5 under and among three players tied for first. That group also includes Utah’s Axel Einarsson and Seattle’s Nathan Cogswell.

UCLA is seventh in the team race at 10 over.

A five-man group at 2 under (T-7) includes San Jose State senior Sean Yu, who last month teed it up at the Genesis Invitational after earning an exemption in a Monday collegiate showcase. Yu eagled his opening hole on Monday, the par-5 12th. His 6-under 65 was the best score from any player in the second round.

Oregon State junior Spencer Tibbits is also part of that tie for seventh. Tibbits, who qualified for the U.S. Open last summer, finished no worse than T-3 individually in three full-field fall starts, including a T-1 at the Husky Invitational to start the year.

Tibbits most recently finished T-21 at the Prestige.

The tournament concludes on Wednesday, and the final round will be live-streamed on Golfweek.com.

Jon Kitna’s son, Jalen, receives offer from Oregon State

Jalen Kitna, the son of former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jon Kitna, received a scholarship offer to play quarterback at Oregon State.

Jon Kitna’s football career started in nearby Tacoma, before continuing at Central Washington University and eventually landing him in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks.

It wasn’t until he was 28 years old and in his fifth NFL season that he played somewhere outside of the state of Washington, in 2001 when he started for the Cincinnati Bengals.

The same story will not be told for his son, Jalen Kitna, who stars at Reedy High School in Frisco, Texas and is among the 20 best quarterback recruits in the Class of 2021.

Kitna certainly won’t follow in his dads footsteps at Central, but he recently visited Oregon State University and received a scholarship offer – so there’s at least a chance he plays some of his college games in Washington.

“I really liked it,” Kitna said. “The whole offensive staff was there to meet me and I really feel like they are a great coaching staff that does it right.”

Kitna originally committed to Boston College last summer, but has reopened his plans and has now received offers from a ton of big name schools, including Florida, Yale, Arizona, Colorado, Tennessee and Georgia Tech.

Kitna may not take the same path to the NFL as his dad, but he’ll hope to have the same level of success after Jon played 14 seasons and threw for just under 30,000 total yards, with 7,552 of them coming in a Seahawks uniform.

Prediction

Arizona State 31, Oregon State 20

Moneyline (ML)

Oregon State is suddenly playing better but still is a 4-5 team, having lost four of five at home. They offer value at +120, but the SUN DEVILS are the smarter bet at -143.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Arizona State returns a profit of $7.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The SUN DEVILS have not been a good bet against the spread. They are favored by 2.5 (-121) on the road, but have covered the spread only three times all season.

Oregon State, on the other hand, is 6-3 against the spread. However, the Arizona State defense should hold up and RB Eno Benjamin should be able to be the workhorse, as the Beavers allow over 192 rushing yards per game.

Lay the points with ASU.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 57.5 points, which is high. Both teams have hit the under in five of their nine games this season. The two teams combine to average 53 points. That is right about where Saturday’s game will end.

Take the UNDER (-115).

4 takeaways from Oklahoma’s 77-69 win over Oregon State

After a slow start, a huge lead and a close finish, Oklahoma improves to 3-0 on the season with a win over Oregon State.

After a slow start, a huge lead and a close finish, Oklahoma improves to 3-0 on the season with a win over Oregon State.

The Sooners’ 77-69 victory over is the Beavers’ first loss of the season.

THIS TEAM IS FUN

When the Sooners are clicking, they are a really fun group to watch. Oklahoma showed off their athleticism, shooting abilities and defensive prowess against the Beavers. It did not matter who was out there, once the Sooners found their groove, they were going to score.

Four Sooners finished the game in double digits with Kristian Doolittle leading the way with 19 points.

austin reaves is a walking heat check

Austin Reaves is really going to hurt an opposing fan base one day. The transfer from Wichita State was 5-9  from three point range, finishing the game with 17 points and one rebound.

KRISITAN DOOLITTLE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE

In his second game back from suspension for playing in an unsanctioned summer league (a suspension in which ESPN commentator, Jay Bilas ripped the NCAA for), Doolittle looked like he does when he plays to his full ability.

Doolittle was the Sooners’ leading scorer and rebounder with 19 points and a career high, 16 boards. Six of those points came from deep as Doolittle tickled both times he shot behind the arc.

Aside from his 19 and 16 efforts, Doolittle also had three assists in his 32 minutes.

FULL TEAM WIN

Not just the starters got in on the action. Kur Kuath, Jalen Hill, Victor Iwuakor and Alondes Williams all posted stats against the Beavers. For what they lacked with their 18 combined points, they made up for in play that be kept with numbers. The Sooners kept Oregon State relatively quiet, forcing the Beavers on multiple minute-long scoreless streaks.

Oklahoma’s next game is Monday, November 18, against William & Mary at the Lloyd Noble Center. The game will be broadcasted on Fox Sports Southwest. Tip-off is set for 6pm CT.
