Oregon State really misses injured forward Tres Tinkle, out with a broken wrist. The Beavers should play with great defensive intensity here after losing at home to Savannah State. The team held a fiery team meeting following that loss.

Both teams turn the ball over frequently. Neither team plays high tempo either. Long Beach State doesn't have great defensive numbers, but that's because it's played an extremely hard schedule.

Note, too, this game is being played in Portland, a neutral site. That's a plus for the under.
