"Given the nature of the road trip and the distance between the two game sites (roughly 500 miles), Oregon State would be making three airplane flights if they weren’t going home. Traveling home between games adds one flight and means two-plus days at home.
Oregon State’s staff made a joint decision to avoid being gone for six days and having the players miss four days of school.
The Beavers will possibly not practice Thursday after getting home, Tinkle said. They’ll practice Friday at home and decided whether they’ll practice Saturday at home or after they fly to Salt Lake City that day.
“I don’t think it should be a problem. We’ve got to get back to class. That’s what coach wants,” senior guard Gary Payton II said of the travel. “I love my bed so it’s great to sleep in my bed after a road game. It is what it is, so you’ve just got to get back out there and handle business.”
Oregon State is one of five Pac-12 men’s basketball teams with a Wednesday-Sunday week on the road this season."
