# 2019–20 Oregon State Beavers men's basketball team

The 2019–20 Oregon State Beavers men's basketball team represented Oregon State University in the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Beavers were led by sixth-year head coach Wayne Tinkle, and played their home games at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Oregon as members of the Pac-12 Conference. They finished the season 18–13, 7–11 in Pac-12 play to finish in a three-way tie for eighth place. They defeated Utah in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament and were set to take on rival Oregon in the quarterfinals before the remainder of the Pac-12 Tournament was cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Previous season

The 2017–18 Beavers finished the 2018–19 season 18–13, 10–8 in Pac-12 play to finish in a three-way tie for fourth place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 tournament to Colorado. Despite having 18 wins and a better record they failed to get an invitation to the National Invitation Tournament and also ruled out of the College Basketball Invitational.
