Oregon State offense vs. Arizona defense

Oregon State’s two leading scorers, Stephen Thompson Jr. and Tres Tinkle, have played only one game together all season. That tells you a lot of what’s wrong with the Beavers’ offense, along with the loss of all-around boxscore stuffer Gary Payton II. The Beavers score the fewest points in conference games of any Pac-12 team (61.3) and shoot just 42.5 percent from the field. They do have a legitimate inside-outside scoring combo in Thompson and power forward Drew Eubanks, while Kendal Manuel is another outside shooting threat and onetime UA recruiting target JaQuori McLaughlin is a solid scoring-minded point guard.
