Oregon State exploded back, using three consecutive buckets from Taylor Jr. to spark an 11-0 Beaver run, as OSU re-took the lead five minutes before the intermission. Portland State banked in a long 3-pointer at the half-time buzzer to send the Vikings to the break in front 37-33. Taylor Jr. had 14 points in the opening 20 minutes.
