Beavers, Buffs in spotlight.
The Oregon State men’s basketball team had a significant audience of one in its last outing, and will have a big audience of thousands tonight when the Beavers take on Colorado in Corvallis, Ore., at 10 p.m. MST.
Last weekend, OSU had President Obama in attendance for the Beavers’ 64-57 win over host George Washington in the District of Columbia. OSU coach Craig Robinson is the brother of first lady Michelle Obama.
Tonight, the Beavers (2-3) will be on national TV against a so-far solid CU team, when the Buffs (5-2) try to knock off the Pac-10 entrant on FSN.
The telecast will be called by play-by-play man Paul Sunderland and former Nuggets forward Don MacLean.
