COLLEGE BASKETBALL Oregon State slips past Oral Roberts Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Nov. 22, 2014 at 2:00 AM By The Associated Press Posted Nov. 22, 2014 at 2:00 AM » Social News CORVALLIS — Gary Payton II scored 10 points and had four steals to lead Oregon State to a 55-42 victory over Oral Roberts on Friday night. Olaf Shaftenaar added 12 points for the Beavers (3-0), who took control in the second half. Bobby Word had 11 points for the Golden Eagles (1-2) while Korey Billbury added 10. Oral Roberts started off cold, and the Golden Eagles finally scored with a Billbury layup at the 13:38 mark, when they trailed 10-2. That basket started a 15-3 run by the Golden Eagles, who took a 15-13 lead on a Word 3-pointer with 6:11 left in the half. Oral Roberts led 20-18 at the break, despite shooting 16.7 percent but going 13 of 18 from the free throw line. The Beavers went on a 12-0 run to open the second half. A Malcolm Duvivier to Payton alley-oop dunk made the score 30-20 with 15:51 remaining. Payton is the son of former Oregon State All-American Gary Payton, who was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013. Trailing by 10 with more than 6 minutes left, the Golden Eagles went to the full court press, forcing the Beavers into three straight turnovers and trimming the lead to 42-37 with 5:26 remaining. Oregon State was able to hold off Oral Roberts, despite Payton fouling out with 2:22 remaining. Obi Emegano came into the game leading the Golden Eagles with 28 points per game. He had seven points and six rebounds on Friday, a year to the day after he suffered a season-ending knee injury against Saint Louis. TIP INS Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton remains 12 wins away from his 300th victory. . The Golden Eagles averaged nearly 40 foul shots per contest in their first two games. Oregon State started 3-0 for the first time since 2001-02. . The Beavers don’t have a senior on the roster for just the third time since 1950.
