But decline it....
FROM OREGON STATE HEAD COACH WAYNE TINKLE:
“We appreciate receiving a bid from the CBI but will decline. We were hopeful to make the NIT and knew we were close, but we have made the decision to end our season at this time.
“Although I'm really proud of what my team accomplished in our first year together, I feel that it is best our student-athletes turn their focus on finals and finishing the rest of the academic year on a strong note, while also preparing for next season.
“I want to thank Beaver Nation and the OSU Beaver Dam for their unbelievable support. The crowds at Gill Coliseum were incredible all season, which helped us average 6,988 fans in Pac-12 play and win a school-record 15 home games.
“I’m very excited for the future of Oregon State basketball. Thank you for committing and the best is yet to come. Go Beavs!”
