Wayne Tinkle's Oregon State Beavers played their second game of the season tonight in Corvallis, where they beat up on Weber State, 76-48, in a game where they led wire to wire. They continued to build on a comfortable lead throughout the second half after leading by nine by the end of the first period, shutting down the Wildcats offense and making life difficult by locking down on the perimeter.
It was a good defensive showing for a Beavers team that gave up nearly 73 points per game last season, which ranked them 207th in the nation in 2023-24. It seems this Oregon State team has a real focus on the defensive end, as they forced difficult shots and turned the Wildcats over 15 times. The Beavers took advantage of these errors by converting them into offensive opportunities, scoring 20 points off of Weber State turnovers, to just eight by the Wildcats.
Overall, it was a thorough domination of a team that went 20-12 and 11-7 in the Big Sky Conference last season, though the Wildcats lost first-round pickin the offseason to the NBA. The Beavers are now 2-0 for the third straight season, and will look to continue their winning ways when they take on Western Oregon on Tuesday, the third of a five-game home stand to start 2024.
