[NU Sports] Final: Oregon 65, Oregon State 38

Sun Nov 30 13:00:38 CST 2008

Small correction:  I think it's actually impossible that Vanderbilt  
could be selected for the Outback.  Although it was unlikely anyway,  
since their overall record is 6-6, I don't think they could be  
selected over other SEC teams for that spot, although their conference  
record is tied with South Carolina at 4-4.
