Well we told you the man could coach: Wayne Tinkle’s Oregon State, coming off a three-win season, gave #8 Duke all it could handle Thursday as the game came down to a final pair of three point attempts by the Beavers to tie. Neither went in.<\/p>\n

OSU gave Duke fits by switching defenses and the young Blue Devils had a hard time responding to that. After a 29-27 halftime lead on a Jeremy Roach three, Oregon State maintained a lead for much of the second half. Duke finally took the lead at 47-45 with 7:37 left on a Jeremy Roach jumper. <\/p>\n

OSU cut it back to 50-49 but couldn’t quite get the lead back. Partly that was because of foul trouble and partly because Duke showed two major strengths: defense and offense rebounding. <\/p>\n

Kyle Filipowski finished with 19 points and 14 boards while Ryan Young had 11 points and 15 boards. Filipowski had five offensive boards while Young had eight. <\/p>\n

Even so, Oregon State could have tied the game in the last seconds if it could have gotten a better shot. <\/p>\n

Flip a coin: survive and advance or a learning experience. <\/p>\n

Or both. <\/p>\n

Either way, Duke moves on and will play the winner of Florida and Xavier. <\/p>\n

We’ll have more in a bit. <\/p>\n
