Oregon State takes on Houston in Elite 8 action on Monday Night.

Oregon State comfortably took down Loyola Chicago in the Sweet 16 to advance to the Elite 8. The Beavers have been shocking the NCAA with their run through the bracket taking down Tennessee and Oklahoma State before handing a seven-point loss to Loyola Chicago.

Houston has been handling their business as a #2 seed through the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars got a blowout win in their opening round game against Cleveland, won a narrow victory over Rutgers, and then locked down Syracuse to advance to the Elite 8. Houston dominated defensively against the Orange and got double digit scoring from three starters while winning the rebound battle and racking up 15 assists to secure a comfortable win.

Take Houston in this one as they are the better more athletic team overall and despite the fact that Oregon State is red hot coming into this game, I just do not see them being able to hang around with the higher seed and they wont get many open looks on Monday night.
