Talk about a tough night. Last night the No.12 Oregon State Beavers took an L to the No. 2 Houston Cougars 67-61 in the Elite 8. Their Cinderella story came to an end, but it was a great run. According to Nick Daschel of the Oregonian, the NCAA didn’t have the nicest exit for the Beavers after their loss to Houston. Instead of letting the Beavs fly out the next morning, the NCAA told them to pack up and get on a 1:15 am flight back to Eugene.

The team arrived in Corvallis at 4 am Tuesday.

The NCAA had a nice parting gift for Oregon State. As soon as they got back to the hotel, they were told to pack up and get on a 1:15 am flight back to Eugene. Everyone had to hurriedly pack and head to the airport. Team arrives in Corvallis at 4 am Tuesday.

Not very classy.

I’m not on the “bash the NCAA” train, but this is messed up. https://t.co/UXSk7y2WIG

This isn’t a huge deal, but this along with this makes me feel like it’s safe to say fuck the @NCAA https://t.co/pwGqb7sJzi pic.twitter.com/iAyrTvidpr

At the very least let them get a good night sleep after a heartbreaking loss. We know hotels cost money but how much really was saved from one night at an average hotel?
