The Immaculate Deflection: Oregon State Basketball

You've heard of the Reception, now watch the Deflection. Watch the totally undermanned Beavers (two senior starters out, two other starters banged up) score a miracle basket to propel themselves to a 65-62 win over the rival Ducks in the 325th edition of the Civil War (most ever meetings between two teams in NCAA history).

Chris Stephens drives to the hoop, banks a tough lay up too hard... the ball falls into a group of three Ducks and one Beaver... what happens next will go down in Beaver basketball lore.

Also includes the final attempt by Oregon to tie and the resulting celebration.

a world without a varsity cheerleading program, and the best baseball team in the country. and an athletic program that isnt run by a sporting company. its a pretty sweet world.

At least Oregon State has won the last two times in football. Look at the baseball program! two straight championships.

i believe the beavers have 3 more wins in the pac 10 than the winless ducks

[hanyo6666]

Can't really call this a deflection, a block would be more of a deflection, not a tipped ball
