Just one day after news broke that point guard Jaquori McLaughlin was granted an immediate release from the Beaver basketball team, Oregon State kicked off a five game home stand with a 78-74 victory over Loyola Marymount.
These are the numbers you should know:
13 - Total number of games that it took Oregon State to reach four wins last year. The Beavers were just 4-9 in non-conference play last season, and that fourth victory came in their final non-conference game. With this win over Loyola Marymount, Oregon State is now 4-3 overall with five more non-conference games left to play.
