Oregon State shrugged off a Monday night loss to Wyoming by taking out their frustration on Long Beach State, 89-81. The 49ers could not solve Drew Eubanks, who flashed his athleticism and flexed his muscles with numerous slam dunks on his way to his first double-double of the season with 26 points and 11 rebounds. Tres Tinkle continued his hot shooting with 20 points, making it three straight games of at least 20, while Stephen Thompson Jr. chipped in 17. Bryan Alberts led the 49ers with 19.
It looked like it might be that kind of night where the ball would bounce in favor of the opposing team all night when Long Beach’s first shot, a three, hung on the rim for eternity.
