Despite all the flashes of solid basketball that Oregon State displayed in their 83-80 exhibition victory over Division II St. Martin’s on Thursday night, the Beavers still needed a three-pointer from newcomer Dashawn Davis with two seconds in the game left to secure the win. The inauspicious start to the 2021-2022 campaign will leave many to wonder what exactly will this team look like when they hit the floor against Division I opponents starting on Tuesday night (November 9th) against Portland State.
A JUCO transfer, Davis scored 7 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and dished out 7 assists in the team’s win, joining a starting five that included the likes of returners Jarod Lucas, Gianni Hunt, Maurice Calloo and Rodrigue Andela.
