Good questions!
  1. No, the tournament games had not started. It was after the last regular season conference games were over and the bracket was set.
  2. It's always possible I read the number wrong, but here's why I think it's unlikely in this game. The top four seeds were all in the +350-600 range. To jump from +600 to +10,000 from a 4 to 5 seed would be hard to explain, especially since the Beavs were also getting a bye.
I'm not saying it's fake because I can't prove it, but it does not add up with what I believe I saw. Photoshop is a pretty easy tool to use these days.

...wonder if they just got super lucky betting before the brackets were finalized and Spirit Mountain was just slow to update shit? That does sound like quite a wide gap in odds though like you say.

I could see odds like that back in January maybe. I really hope its true, I would love to see someone win that big.

Also, here's some more context: The odds for Oregon St to win 6 straight tournament games against the best teams in the country are +8000. Compare the difficulty to winning 3 straight against the Pac12 at +10,000, doesn't add up. Odds don't change a ton based off win streaks or momentum either.

While the Ducks were built on Nike money in a city of 150,000 the Beavs are built on farming grants in a city of 80,000....hardly an even playing field....yet Beaver baseball had a HOF program and maybe the greatest coach ever in college baseball......with virtually no recruiting perks or money... Oregon state gives out mostly engineering and agricultural scholarships....the Ducks give that money to the sports programs first and foremost...go Beavs! Underdogs rock!

Don't forget the greatest wrestling coach ever.

That will happen the same time Duck fans don't get super defensive about anything said that is remotely not blowing smoke up their skirt, OR remotely anything said about the UW Huskies.

stuff it frat boy

Ducks and Beavers were doing just fine trash-talking each other when you showed up and tried to be the adult in the room. This room don't need no damn fake adults

Beavers are riding a perfect storm. Everybody on the team is shooting at a basket that seems a little larger. They are almost all moving their feet well on defense and maintaining position. Starters and bench are all in sync and the machine appears well oiled. This happens for a decent team every once in a while and they become one of the toughest outs around. Enjoy it Beav fans because it's kind of rare.
 
These refs don’t want the big star(Cade) to go out of the tournament
 
I haven’t been this excited about the Beavers basketball team since I went there back in the 80s when Gary Payton was running the show.

Great to see them get some national recognition!

...how far did they go back then? I started following a decade or more after all that.

The beavers haven’t won a game in the tournament since 1982. Payton played in the late 80s so he never won a game when he was here

since the Ralph Miller days, the Beavers have not played well in the tourney

Miller's team were notorious for being regular season champions and bowing out really early in March Madness. I think a lot of it was that when the Beavers were either winning or contending for Pac-10 championships, the Pac-10 officials allowed a lot of hand checking and hand defense. Those great Beavers teams were really good and redirecting players with hand contact. That became a major component of their defense. But in the tournament, the Beavers were always in foul trouble and their opponents paraded to the FT line

this year's beaver team is really playing well right now, at the perfect time, and they don't have many chinks in their late season armor. I wouldn't be surprised if they were a final-4 Cinderella
 
Oh man, for some reason I thought Beavs made it to the final 4 at some time in past :dunno: oh well, I guess 2021 is the year!! #LFGBeavs
