In what was originally supposed to just be a tune-up game, the shorthanded Beavers picked up a much needed win after dropping four straight games early in the season over the NAIA Southern Oregon Raiders, 84-59.
Wayne Tinkle kept his jacket on and Drew Eubanks set a new career high by halftime, dominating the game from the opening tip. The big man ate well tonight, finishing the game with 32 points and 9 rebounds.
Southern Oregon came into the game on a hot streak, having started the season 6-2 on the back of Ben DeSaulnier (the Pride of Philomath), SOU’s leading scorer coming off of a 25 point performance against Menlo.
