biggest bumped changed chris gets happen line neither parade points shot stopping stretch team
Neither team was stopping each other and then Chris Hernandez had a stretch there that changed everything. The big shot he hits, the 3-pointers, and then he gets bumped and the parade continues. Having that happen where they get a lot of points at the line was one of my biggest fears.

Ed had a lot of love and appreciation for Oregon State, and he was very much interested in our basketball program.

He's one of the first true legends in Oregon State basketball and he'll be forever remembered.
