TEMPE, Ariz. – Oregon State dropped a nail-biter to Arizona State, 74-73, on Saturday evening at Desert Financial Arena.

Oregon State (15-12, 5-10 Pac-12) scored the final five points after Alonzo Verge's layup gave the Sun Devils a 74-68 lead with 2:31 left.

Jarod Lucas made a 3-pointer with 1:40 remaining to make it 74-73, but his 3-pointer with two seconds remaining hit the rim and bounced off.

Tres Tinkle had 25 points and Ethan Thompson had 20 and a season-high four 3-pointers for the Beavers. Tinkle grabbed nine rebounds and Thompson dished out seven assists.

Dearon Tucker and Antoine Vernon scored six points apiece, season highs for both.

The Beavers shot 50.0% from the field (26-for-52), 45.5% from beyond the arc (10-for-22) and 84.6% from the free throw line (11-for-13).

There were 11 lead changes and five ties in the first 11 minutes of the second half before Rob Edwards made three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt for a 64-61 lead, and the Beavers did not lead again.

Remy Martin and Verge scored 17 points each and Arizona State extended its winning streak to seven games.

Romello White had 15 points, Kimani Lawrence added 14 and Edwards scored 10 for the Sun Devils (19-8, 10-4 Pac-12), who have won nine of their last 10 and grabbed at least a share of first place in the league after a 1/3 start.

The Beavers will next face Oregon in the 354th Civil War at 8 p.m. on Thursday at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene.
