The Pac-12 has laid out its 2026-27 men’s basketball conference slate, and Oregon State’s path through league play now has a clear shape.
The Beavers will get started on Jan. 6 at Gill Coliseum against San Diego State, then jump right into a tough stretch on the road with games at Boise State on Jan. 9 and Texas State on Jan. 14.
From there, the schedule swings back to Corvallis for a pair of eye-catching home dates: Utah State on Jan. 16 and Gonzaga on Jan. 24.
Oregon State’s early league run keeps moving quickly after that. The Beavers travel to Washington State on Jan. 27 and then to Utah State on Jan. 30, before returning home for Boise State on Feb.
- A road trip to Colorado State follows on Feb.
The middle of February brings another home-heavy stretch. Oregon State hosts Washington State on Feb. 10 and Texas State on Feb. 14, then heads back out for games at Fresno State on Feb. 20 and San Diego State on Feb.
- Colorado State comes to Gill Coliseum on Feb. 27, and the Beavers close the regular-season road portion with a trip to Spokane to face Gonzaga on March 3.
The final game of the conference season is set for March 6 in Corvallis against Fresno State.
Oregon State released its nonconference schedule last week, and one more marquee game is still to be announced. TV designations and tip times will come later.
Tickets for home games at Gill Coliseum are already available, with single-game tickets and Six Game Mini Plans set to go on sale beginning Oct. 12.

Jacob Walker Is Giving Oregon State A Real Backcourt Decision
Jacob Walkers path into the college game has already included a quick rise and another fresh start, and that makes him a name Oregon State fans will want to track closely. He began at Sam Houston before transferring to Oklahoma State, where his early work has only added to the sense that he can be more than just a depth option. Coaches and teammates have already given him the kind of trust young guards need, and Walker has been open about how much that has meant to his development.
The real question now is how quickly that momentum turns into a defined backcourt role. Walker has given Oklahoma State a strong look in summer competition, showing the kind of scoring and playmaking that can complicate an already crowded rotation. For a team trying to sort out its guard minutes, his confidence and recent production have created a legitimate decision point, and it will be interesting to see how much responsibility he earns once the games start counting.

Oregon State Heads Into Pac-12 Play With A Problem It Must Fix Fast
Penalties have become a growing concern for Oregon State as the Beavers head deeper into the schedule, and the issue was front and center after the UTEP game. Coach JaMarcus Shephard and defensive coordinator Mike MacIntyre both addressed the problem this week, with the staff stressing that the team has to clean up the discipline issues before heading to Colorado State. Defensive lineman Niklas Fisher and nickelback Gyriece Goodman echoed that message, framing it as a standards issue as much as a football one.
It is not just a matter of a few costly flags here and there. Oregon State sits near the bottom of the FBS in penalty yards per game, a reminder that this has been a pattern rather than a one-off. The timing makes it especially important, because mistakes like these can swing field position and momentum fast, and the Beavers do not have much margin for that as they move into conference play.

Oregon State May Have Found Another Freshman Receiver It Needs Fast
Oregon State got its first real look at Jameson Powell against UTEP, and the true freshman receiver made it count right away. Powell finished his debut with two catches for 20 yards, flashing the kind of quick contribution the Beavers have been searching for as they try to settle in more options at receiver. Coaches JaMarcus Shephard and Mitch Dahlen have already singled out his competitiveness and work ethic, the kind of early praise that usually matters more in September than a box score ever could.
Powell's path to Corvallis also adds a layer to the story. He arrived after being committed elsewhere before ultimately landing with Oregon State, and the Beavers are already looking at a bigger role for him as the season goes on. The challenge now is turning that promising first step into something more consistent, especially with coaches still pointing to areas he has to clean up if he is going to stay on the field and keep earning trust.
