    Highlights

    • The Beavers upset Texas in the TicketCity Legends Classic.[1]
    • The 100 points scored by the Beavers against Texas was the first 100-point game since 1997 and the 27th time in school history. It's also the first Beavers team coached by Robinson to score 100 points.[2]
    • The December 4 game against Montana was the first game with over 5,500 fans in a non-Pac-12 home game since the team played LSU in 2006.[3]
    • The January 7 quadruple-overtime 101–103 loss to Stanford was the longest basketball game in Oregon State history.[4]
    • The team won 20 games for the first time since legend Gary Payton was a senior and posted just its second winning season since that same year back in 1989-90[1]
    • The team pulled off the biggest upset in Pac-12 Tournament history when they knocked off No. 1 seed-Washington and advanced to postseason play for the third time in four years.[1]
    • The Beavers led the conference in scoring for the first time ever and had their most 100-point games, 90-point games and 80-point games in school history, while leading the Pac-12 in steals for the third consecutive year.[1]
