Beavers Blast Spartans In Las Vegas Classic
November 27, 2019 | Men's Basketball
LAS VEGAS – Oregon State cruised past San Jose State, 83-48, in the Las Vegas Classic on Wednesday evening at Orleans Arena.
The Beavers got balanced scoring with four players finishing in double figures. Ethan Thompson finished with a game-high 17 points, Alfred Hollins had 16, Tres Tinkle added 15 and Zach Reichle chipped in 10.
With the win, Oregon State (6-1) equaled its best start through seven games since the 1980-81 team opened 26-0. The Beavers have started 6-1 in eight other seasons since then.
The 48 points scored were the fewest by an Oregon State opponent this season. It was the first time the Beavers held an opponent to fewer than 50 points since allowing 49 to Marist on Nov. 26, 2017.
Oregon State shot 55.0 percent (33-for-60) from the field and 52.4 percent (11-for-21) from beyond the arc. The defense forced 18 turnovers, which resulted in a 30-11 advantage in points off turnovers.
The Beavers also got solid contributions from the bench with Roman Silva scoring eight points, Jarod Lucas adding six and Sean Miller-Moore finishing with four points and five rebounds.
San Jose State (3-4) was mired in a tough shooting night, hitting just 17 of 59 (28.8%) from the floor, including 19.4 percent (6-for-31) in the second half.
Sam Japhet-Mathias led the Spartans with 10 points.
