Quinnipiac 60, Oregon State 52:
Zaid Hearst scored 24 points, including 11-of-11 shooting form the
free-throw line, to lead the host Bobcats to a win over the Beavers.
Evan Conti had 14 points and six
rebounds for Quinnipiac (5-5), which won its second straight. Hearst
and Conti combined for 10 of the Bobcats' 19 field goals, with the
other eight players on the team shooting 9-of-35 from the field.
Olaf Schaftenaar led Oregon State
(8-3) with 18 points, including four 3-pointers, and also grabbed six
rebounds. Malcolm Duvivier had 10 points and four assists while
Daniel Gomis added seven points and seven rebounds.
The game stayed close for much of
the first half, though Oregon State used an 11-2 run — helped by a
pair of 3-pointers by Schaftenaar — to take an eight-point lead
with 12:01 to go, but the Beavers then went nearly eight minutes
without a field goal, as Quinnipiac used a 15-1 run to go up by six.
It was still six at halftime, and it stayed around that same deficit
for much of the second half.
Oregon State got its deficit down
to three on Victor Robbins' layup with 2:44 to go, but a Ousmane
Drame jumper and Conti free throw pushed the lead back up to six with
37 seconds to go. Duvivier scored on a layup with 23 seconds to play,
but the Beavers couldn't get any closer, as Hearst hit 4-of-4 from
the line in the closing seconds.
