While the rest of us were stuffing turkeys and mashing potatoes, the Oregon State Men’s Basketball team was playing in their biggest game of the season. The Beavers took on eighth ranked Duke in the first game of the Phil Knight Legacy tournament. Oregon State gave Duke a tough challenge, but the Blue Devils prevailed in the end, winning 54-51. Oregon State falls to 3-2 on the season.
Dzmitry Ryuny got the Beavers on the scoreboard first with a three pointer, and hit a second a few minutes later to keep them in front. Jordan Pope also nailed a three to maintain the Beaver lead, but Duke would not be denied.
