Oregon St defeats San Francisco 70-62

Oregon State Edges San Francisco in Thrilling Conference Matchup

The Gill Coliseum erupted as Oregon State (OSU) hosted conference opponent San Francisco, but it was the Beavers who came out on top, 70-62.

In a back-and-forth contest that saw both teams trade baskets and neither able to pull away for more than a handful of points, OSU erased a 5-point halftime deficit to take down the Dons. The difference between the two teams came down to one crucial aspect: free throw shooting.

San Francisco struggled from the line, converting just 73% (16/22) while Oregon State shot at an impressive 93% (13/14). The Beavers' ability to get to the free-throw line and capitalize on their attempts proved decisive in the end.

David Fuchs led all scorers with 19 points for San Francisco but struggled from three, going 0-for-2. Meanwhile, Isaiah Sy paced Oregon State with 18 points, hitting four of six three-point attempts.

On the glass, Fuchs dominated with 13 rebounds to go along with his scoring efforts. Dez White led Oregon State in rebounding and assists, helping his team control the tempo of the game.

Oregon State's success was largely due to their ability to limit San Francisco's offense and capitalize on turnovers. The Beavers forced nine San Francisco miscues while converting them into 14 points off turnovers.

Advanced statistics showed that both teams performed relatively well across most categories, but it was Oregon State's edge in free-throw shooting that made all the difference. Their 30.4% Free Throw Rate compared to San Francisco's 41.5% highlighted the importance of this aspect for OSU.

The win gives Oregon State a boost in conference standings as they move forward in their quest for success.
