Oregon’s Dan Lanning rips Skip Bayless for criticizing pregame speech

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning is firing back at Skip Bayless.

The “Undisputed” host insinuated during the FS1 show Monday that Lanning’s pregame comments ahead of Saturday’s contest against the Deion Sanders-led Colorado Buffaloes had racial undertones.

“I’ve tried to tell you guys for two weeks there is a deep-rooted, venomous vengeance that is starting to manifest itself against [Colorado head coach] Deion [Sanders] among white coaches,” Bayless said Monday on the show.

The comments did not sit well with Lanning, and he pointedly addressed Bayless’ assertion.

“I don’t know Skip at all. I’ve never had a conversation with him,” Lanning told reporters Monday. “I’ve watched him enough to know how often he gets it wrong, so that sounds about right. But, ultimately, here’s what I say. We’re playing to win the game. You saw a 15-second clip from a window outside the house of what happens in a locker room.

“I know our locker room. I’m in the house 100 percent of the time. I know how our players felt going into that game — and I know what it takes to motivate our players.”

The comments in question came in the Ducks’ locker room as Lanning prepared his team for a showdown with the upstart Buffaloes.

The Ducks handed the Buffaloes a 42-6 loss to end Colorado’s undefeated streak to start the year.

But Lanning’s pregame speech — which was captured by ESPN cameras — took not-so-subtle shots at Sanders.

“Rooted in substance. Not flash. Rooted in substance,” the Oregon coach said in the clip. “Today, we talk with our pads. You talk with your helmet! Right? Every moment! The Cinderella story is over, men! Right? They’re fighting for clicks. We’re fighting for wins. There’s a difference, right? There’s a difference.

“This game ain’t gonna be played in Hollywood. It’s gonna be played on the grass.”

Lanning called it his “job” to motivate his players and that’s what he was doing during his pregame speech, he said.

The coach also specifically said his team had feelings about Colorado stepping on the Oregon logo at midfield before the game.

“They felt a certain way about a group stomping on the O,” Lanning said. “They felt a certain way about guys talking to ’em in the pregame. I’m proud of those guys because what they decided to do is talk with their pads.”

The Ducks coach did praise Sanders for what he has done for college football since arriving at Colorado and acknowledged that the reason Saturday’s game was so hyped up was because of Sanders.

“If anybody can’t see what he’s done for college football and how he’s bringing excitement to college football, you’re crazy,” he said. “I said that last week as well. He’s done a lot for the game. He’s building something over there.

“I think that’s really, really clear.”

Oregon State vs Washington State live score updates, highlights, how to watch Week 13 game

Oregon State will look to salvage its disappointing season this weekend in the final home game of the year.

The Beavers (4-6) will return to Reser Stadium as they host Washington State (8-2) at 4 p.m. Saturday in a clash of Pac-12 rivals.

After a promising start to the year, Oregon State has cratered during the final month of the season and is in the midst of a five-game losing streak. Last week, the Beavers suffered one of the worst losses in recent program history during a 28-0 loss at Air Force.

“Last week was obviously very disappointing; we did not play well in any phase of the game,” Oregon State head coach Trent Bray said Monday. “We’ve gotta look at what we’re doing, what we’re asking them to do and what they do well and get that fixed immediately. That was really the first game that was disappointing to watch us play. I think every other game this year we’re in close games, we’re competing, we’re at it. That wasn’t it on Saturday, and that’s disappointing.”

No. 22 Illinois seniors too much for Oregon State as Beavers lose their third straight in women’s basketball

Oregon State couldn’t maintain momentum from a spirited first half as No. 22 Illinois ran away after halftime and defeated the Beavers 85-66 in women’s basketball in Champaign, Ill.

Illinois, leading by 10 at halftime, outscored OSU 29-14 during the third quarter to put the game away.

Oregon State (1-4) dropped its third consecutive game, all to Power 4 conference opponents. AJ Marotte scored 16 points and Catarina Ferreira had 15 to lead the Beavers. Ferreira also grabbed 11 rebounds.

OSU shot 39% in the game, and 7 of 29 from three-point range.

Kendall Bostic and Makira Cook combined to score 51 of Illinois’ 85 points. Bostic, a senior forward, hit 15 of 18 shots and scored 31 points, while Cook, a senior guard, had 20 points and eight assists. Genesis Bryant, another senior guard, scored 12.

Illinois (5-0) made 55% of its shots, hitting 35 of 64.

Oregon State never led in the game, but kept contact throughout the first half. The Beavers got as close as 27-20 on a layup by Marotte with 5:13 left in the second quarter. A three-pointer by Kelsey Rees with 44 seconds left before halftime trimmed the deficit to 10.

Illinois cranked up its offense during the third quarter, and OSU couldn’t keep up. Illinois hit eight of its first nine shots, four by Bostic, as it rolled to a 46-28 lead with 2:18 left in the third. The lead swelled to 28 points during the second half before Oregon State scored some late points to reduce the final margin.

Oregon State heads to the Bahamas, where it will face No. 2 Connecticut in the Continental Tire Baha Mar Championship at 4:30 p.m. Monday.
