On Thanksgiving Day, Oregon State took on undefeated St. John's in the first round of the Advocare Invitational. While the Beavers fell by only five points (82-77) and the Red Storm are a formidable foe (they are currently 5-0), the game was difficult to take any moral victory from due to how the loss played out.
There were good numbers and bad numbers to be gleaned from the contest—the bad numbers will make it painfully obvious just how close the Beavers were to a first-round victory.
The good:
4 - Number of Oregon State starters that scored in double figures.
