Oregon State’s young players made some big statements in the team’s first game of the season, a big 82-52 win over Loyola Marymount. The Beavers open their season 1-0 for the 24th straight season.
The performance of two freshmen was the big story of the night. AJ Marotte helped the team get in front early in the first, hitting back to back threes. LMU managed to claw their way back into the game in the final minutes of the quarter, with Khari Clark scoring four points to get within 3 of the Beavers, 18-15.
Oregon State really took control in the second, with Von Oelhoffen once again leading the way for the Beavers.
