Late Rally Falls Short At UCLA
February 21, 2019 | Men's Basketball
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Stephen Thompson Jr. scored 21 points and Tres Tinkle posted a double-double, but an Oregon State rally fell short in a 68-67 loss to UCLA on Thursday night at Pauley Pavilion.
The Beavers (16-9, 8-5 Pac-12) fought back from down 12 to take their first lead of the game with 1:26 remaining on a layup by Thompson Jr.
Chris Smith scored the go-ahead basket with 21 seconds left on a desperate bank shot.
Tinkle missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer with 1.8 seconds on the clock.
After UCLA led by 12 early in the second half it became a back-and-forth game over the final 4:19.
The Beavers twice got within one point before they tied it 65-all on a 3-pointer by Antoine Vernon, his first basket of the game.
Thompson Jr's layup gave Oregon State its first lead of the game, 67-65.
Jaylen Hands made 1 of 2 free throws to get UCLA to 67-66.
UCLA attempted 28 free throws to just three for the Beavers. Oregon State outscored the Bruins 40-26 in the paint.
Thompson Jr. went 9-for-14 from the field for his 21 points and added seven assists. Tinkle finished with 19 points and a career-high 16 rebounds. Ethan Thompson equaled his brother with seven assists.
Moses Brown had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Bruins (14-13, 7-7 Pac-12),
Oregon State will next play USC at 3 p.m. on Saturday at the Galen Center in a contest televised on Pac-12 Network.
