FILE - Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle, left, confers with guard Gianni Hunt in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Colorado on Feb. 8, 2021, in Boulder, Colo. Tinkle will be rooting for Gianni Hunt, a junior guard at Sacramento State who left Oregon State's program earlier this year. Hunt sought a fresh start after his playing time failed to develop as he had hoped. He took a leave of absence from the Beavers last season when his "love for the game had deteriorated," he said.
