Pure-shooting Beaver with big-game touch and academic grit
In the 2006-07 season, Angelo Tsagarakis was a low-usage Oregon State guard who averaged 2.8 points and 9.8 minutes in 28 games, but his calling card was always his shooting touch—he set an Oregon State freshman record with 45 made threes and finished his Beavers career with 72 triples. His value is more than the box score: he was praised as a crowd favorite, earned two Pac-10 All-Academic honors, and played through a shoulder injury that helped interrupt his early momentum, making him the kind of high-IQ, spacing-first guard coaches tend to trust when they need professionalism and perimeter pop.
