SPORTS Friday, January 19, 2018 East Oregonian Page 3B Men’s College Basketball Tres Tinkle has 16 and Oregon State beats UCLA 69-63 By ANNE M. PETERSON Associated Press CORVALLIS — Tres Tinkle had 16 points and Oregon State snapped a two-game losing streak with a 69-63 victory over UCLA on Thursday night. Stephen Thompson Jr. and Drew Eubanks each added 12 points for the Beavers (11-7, 3-3 Pac-12), who finished with all five starters in double figures. Aaron Holiday led the Bruins (13-6, 4-3) with 22 points. Thomas Welsh finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds. UCLA has now lost as many in league play as all of last season when the team went 15-3 in the Pac-12. UCLA erased an 8-point deficit to tie the game at 48-48 after a layup from Alex Olesinski with 9:37 left. Thompson answered with a layup for the Beavers to keep the Bruins from pulling ahead. The Bruins took a 54-53 lead on Chris Smith’s layup with 6:40 to go and both teams wrestled for the advan- tage down the stretch. Kris Wilkes’ layup put the Bruins up 58-57, but Seth Berger’s basket put the Beavers back in front with 3:42 to go. Tinkle’s 3-pointer gave the Beavers a 62-60 lead before Thompson added his own 3 with 2:16 left. After Eubanks’ dunk for Oregon State, Wilkes hit a 3-pointer for UCLA to close the gap to 67-63 with 27 seconds left. The pace was slow throughout the first half, with the score knotted at 13 with 7:48 to go after a layup from UCLA’s Chris Smith. Kendal Manuel put Oregon State ahead with a 3-pointer. Thompson and Eubanks hit back-to-back layups to put Oregon State up 31-26 at the break, and Berger’s basket to open the second half pushed the Beavers’ margin to seven points. The pace favored Oregon State, which went into the game holding opponents to 65.2 points to lead the Pac-12. On the other side, UCLA was averaging 84 points per game, second in the Pac-12. Holiday, who scored just four points in the first half, had seven in the first five minutes of the second. But UCLA struggled to close the gap until Holiday’s 3-pointer got the Bruins within 41-38. Berger’s 3-pointer and a pair of free throws from Thompson stretched Oregon State’s lead to 48-40. Olesinski fouled out with 5:12 left in the game. The Bruins were coming off a 68-59 loss at home to Colorado last Saturday. UCLA shot just 37.1 percent from the floor. The loss came after a 19-point victory over Utah that coach Steve Alford said was one of UCLA’s best of the year. UCLA’s season has been inconsistent following the season-long suspension of Cody Riley and Jalen Hill, and the departure of LiAn- gelo Ball following a team trip to China where the three were arrested for shoplifting. The Beavers lost 62-53 to then-No. 17 Arizona before a second loss to then-No. 11 Arizona State last Saturday. UP NEXT The Beavers will host the Trojans on Saturday. BUCKS: Outscore Riverhawks 16-5 in third quarter to extend narrow lead ROUNDUP: Mac-Hi travels to Baker, drops dual meet 58-15 Continued from 1B Continued from 1B But the game broke open in the third quarter. The Bucks outscored the Eagles 16-5 in the third to increase their lead to 42-25 and ran away to reach the final score of 51-36. Porter repeated the game plan throughout the night: continue to bring the pressure on defense, be patient with the ball and play clean — Pendleton finished with only nine turnovers. “It’s just intensity in prac- tice,” Porter said. “We’re just trying to raise the intensity level in practice and trying to perform at that level in games and tonight they showed that they can do that.” According to Pendleton’s lead scorer, senior post player Kalan McGlothan, the team took their weakness and imposed it on their oppo- nents. “We used to struggle really bad when teams would press us,” she said. “So then we press them, and we set the tempo of the game and it’s something we want to do every game.” Matching the team’s inten- sity, Porter had moments by the bench that helped fuel the fire the Bucks lit on the court. At the beginning of the third quarter, the officials signaled timeout. Pendleton had just gone on a 9-2 run and Porter couldn’t have been happier. He jumped off the bench, and with both feet planted near the 3-point arc he waved his hands and yelled “Get in here, let’s go.” “I can be very excitable,” Porter said. He noted that people can misunderstand Scott 5, R. Russell 3, D. Jackson 2, K. Broncheau 2, M. Gallegos 2. HOOD RIVER VALLEY — C. Flores 19, J. Tactay 12, E. Siekkinen 7, P. Slatt3, N. Webster 3, D.

I don’t want a timeout to (be) a letdown, so I tend to increase my energy some- times. I couldn’t of been happier.” Pendleton will hope to carry that same intensity to its next game Tuesday. The Bucks will host their last non-league matchup before hitting the road and returning to CRC play for a three-game away stint. Pendleton will welcome the La Grande Tigers, and tipoff is sched- uled for 7 p.m. ——— HRV 11 9 5 11 — 36 PHS 16 10 16 9 — 51 HOOD RIVER VALLEY — A. Dawson 12, E. Curtis 6, L. Orr 4, H. Baker 3, H.

Up 18-10 through the first eight minutes of play, the Mustangs rode that momentum which led to a 59-32 victory over the home team. The Bulldogs (4-15 overall, 0-3 Columbia Basin Conference) have yet to pick up a CBC win, while the Mustangs (8-6, 3-0) are riding a five-game win streak. Junior Trent Smith was Heppner’s top shooter, scoring a game-high 18 points. Senior Wyatt Stea- gall recorded 10, and was the only other Mustang to reach double figures. For Culver, seniors Matt Krueger and Weston Basl each recorded 13 points to lead the Bulldogs. Heppner will continue its road trip with its next stop in Pilot Rock for a 4 p.m. tipoff Saturday. ——— HHS 18 16 14 11 — 59 CHS 10 10 5 7 — 32 HEPPNER — T. Smith 18. W. Steagall 10, B. Wolters 6, K.

They snapped the Bulldogs (10-6 overall, 2-1 CRC) four-game win streak, and will continue their road trip at Pilot Rock on Saturday.
