OSU's Second-Half Comeback Falls Short
February 16, 2017 | Men's Basketball
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State erased an 11-point second-half deficit but could not finish and fell 60-52 to Colorado on Thursday night before a Gill Coliseum crowd of 4,281.
The Beavers (4-23, 0-14) trailed 46-35 with 7:13 remaining when they went on a 17-6 tear to tie the game 52-52 with 2:10 to play on a Drew Eubanks jumper. However, the Buffaloes (16-11, 6-8) scored the final eight points of the game to pull away.
Gligorije Rakocevic had eight points, Eubanks six in the comeback and both sophomore centers finished in double figures. Eubanks had 14 points, eight rebounds, four blocks and two assists; Rakocevic had 10 points, just two off his career high, and added five rebounds and two blocked shots.
Freshman guard JaQuori McLaughlin led the Beavers with 16 points, including a 3-pointer with 3:20 remaining that tied the game 50-50, capping off a 15-4 OSU run. He also had two assists and two of OSU's nine blocked shots, the most this season in Pacific-12 Conference action.
OSU led 25-24 at halftime but fell behind while scoring only two points in the first six minutes of the second half. Colorado built its biggest lead, 46-35, with 7:13 remaining before OSU mounted its rally.
Eubanks has scored in double figures in 21 of 27 games this season, McLaughlin in 18 of 27. It was the third career game in double figures for Rakocevic.
The Beavers resume Pac-12 action at 5:30 p.m. Sunday when they host Utah at Gill Coliseum. The game will be televised by EPNU.
