Justin Joyner to Lead Oregon State Beavers

0:00On March 11, Oregon State Beavers, men's basketball, looks set to name a new head coach soon. Justin Joyner, an assistant from the Michigan Wolverines, is expected to take the job. This would be his first time leading a Division I program. Joyner joined Michigan two seasons ago under head coach Dusty May. The team just wrapped up one of its best years ever, going 19 wins and one loss in Big 10 play. That earned them the top seed in the conference tournament with a 29 and two overall record. Before Michigan, Joyner spent seven seasons at St. Mary's on the West Coast. There, he earned praise as a top recruiter and player developer. His strong regional connections reportedly helped seal his appeal for the Oregon State opening. The move comes as Michigan eyes a deep postseason run. They're playing their strongest ball right now and hope to carry that momentum through the Big 10 tournament and March madness. If the deal goes through, Joyner brings proven success to Corvallis, setting the stage for an exciting rebuild at Oregon State.
