Bench Heroes Lead Beavers to Thriller

The Beavers clawed back from a disastrous start to stun San Francisco 78-77, sending them to the semi-finals against top-ranked Gonzaga. After missing their first six minutes and going cold from three, the bench erupted—Dez White dropped 12 points on threes, Noah Amenhauser delivered clutch plays, and others like Josiah Lake II and Yaak Yaak stepped up. Coach Wayne Tinkle, set to leave the program, praised the depth and resilience that turned the tide. This gritty win proves that when the starters struggle, the reserves can carry the team—and maybe even shock the nation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
