Calvin Haynes told the Oregonian the Beavers aren’t much concerned by how much Jorge Gutierrez has helped Cal recently because Oregon State coped well the Bears’ sophomore guard last season.

“To be honest, him being inserted into the starting lineup kind of helps us, because he hasn’t been successful against our zone,” Haynes said.  ”He’s one of those guys, as soon as you put pressure on him you can make him cough up the ball.”
