The Oregon State Beavers men's basketball program, established in 1901, is the intercollegiate men's basketball program of the Oregon State University Beavers. The program is classified in the NCAA's Division I, and the team competes in the Pac-12 Conference. The team plays home games in Gill Coliseum. They are currently coached by Wayne Tinkle. Oregon State has appeared in the NCAA Tournament 17 times (though three appearances were later vacated by the NCAA), advancing to the Final Four twice (1949 and 1963). Their most recent appearance was in 2016 where they lost in the First Round to VCU.
The 1980–81 Oregon State men's basketball season was arguably one of the best and ironically most upsetting basketball seasons in Oregon State history. The team was referred to as the Orange Express and was led by Beaver legendary coach Ralph Miller. The Orange Express season was led by Beaver great, Steve Johnson, in his last year at OSU. This season would be the first time in OSU history that the Beavers would win at UCLA. The Orange Express spent a school record eight weeks ranked #1 in at least one of the AP and Coaches Polls while finishing with a 26–2 record. At 26–1 the team would go into the NCAA tournament as a #1 seed and were upset by #8 seed Kansas State 50–48 in the First round. Miller was awarded UPI and AP Coach of the Year honors and Steve Johnson would receive All-American honors.
