Back-to-back 3-pointers from Rochelin put the Beavers in front 16-12 nine minutes into the contest. The Phoenix led 18-16 at the under-8 media timeout, but Oregon State scored six-straight points to go ahead 22-18.

Akanno converted a layup at the first-half buzzer to send the Beavers to the locker room leading 30-23.

Oregon State used nine unanswered points to go ahead by 14 with nine minutes to go. The Beavers led by as many as 17 before taking the win by nine.
