CORVALLIS -- Oregon State came out flat on Saturday night, but took control of a close game thanks to defensive intensity, according to coach Wayne Tinkle.
"It's funny how things carry over on the offensive end when you play hard on D," Tinkle said.
Tres Tinkle and Drew Eubanks each scored 19 points as Oregon State pulled away from Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the second half for an 85-58 win on Saturday night.
Ethan Thompson added 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists and Stephen Thompson Jr. had 12 points and a career-high eight assists for the Beavers (6-3), who won their fourth in a row.
