1980–83 – Orange Express

File:Orange express.jpg

The Orange Express with Steve Johnson as #33.

The 1980–81 Oregon State men's basketball season was arguably one of the best and ironically most upsetting basketball seasons in Oregon State history. The team was referred to as the Orange Express and was led by Beaver legendary coach Ralph Miller.^[7]^[8]^[9] The Orange Express season was led by Beaver great, Steve Johnson's, in his last year at OSU. This season would be the first time in OSU history that the Beavers would win at UCLA. The Orange Express spent a school record 25 weeks as #1 in the polls while finishing with a 26–2 record. At 26–1 the team would go into the NCAA tournament as a #1 seed and were upset by #8 seed Kansas State 50–48 in the First round. Miller was awarded UPI and AP Coach of the Year honors and Steve Johnson would receive All-American honors.^[7] Throughout 1980–83 OSU held a 77–11 record which at the time was only bested by DePaul's 79–6 record. This record included a 35–1 record at Gill Coliseum including a school best 24 consecutive home wins.^[7]

However, NCAA sanctions followed these standout teams.^[10] The NCAA found that many players, from 1979–1983 were involved in improper arrangements with outside representative related to the purchase of complimentary basketball tickets and the receipt of other prohibited benefits.^[10] The NCAA vacated appearances from the 1980, 1981, and 1982 tournaments.
