San Diego Falls to Oregon State in Overtime

SAN DIEGO – In a complete inverse of last game's comeback overtime win at Pepperdine, USD men's basketball was on the other end this time as it fell to Oregon State, 78-76 after OT in the JCP.
 
The Toreros led by 10 with 1:28 remaining in regulation before the visiting Beavers stormed back to tie the game up and send it to overtime. In the extra period, OSU rode its momentum to edge the Toreros by two points.
 
San Diego finished on the plus-end in the rebound margin and held its opponents to just 40.3% field goal shooting, but the season-high 20 turnovers proved costly.
 
Grad guard Adrian McIntyre led the way with 21 points, 11 in OT. Junior forward Assane Diop also finished in double figures and had eight rebounds, as did grad forward Tim Moore Jr. who also became the 15th Torero ever with five blocks in a game.
 
How it Happened
  • Both teams got off to a slow shooting start, but Diop picked up where he left off after his 21 and 17 double-double in the Pepperdine win, scoring 10 consecutive USD points to give his side its first lead
  • OSU went on an 11-0 run to end a low-scoring first half, leading 30-25 at the break
  • The Toreros came out of the gates hot to start the second half, taking the lead back
  • USD then extended on a quick burst to lead by a game-high eight points
  • Oregon State chipped away, but the Toreros went on another hot streak as the 3-point shooting came alive
  • San Diego led by 10 with 1:28 remaining before an OSU 11-1 run off a dunk and 3-for-3 3-point shooting tied the game with 12 seconds left to send it to overtime
  • Oregon State rode the momentum into the extra period to take first advantage, but each time the Toreros struck back, the home crowd would get silenced by a timely OSU three or foul calls on USD including a technical and flagrant one
  • Still, the Toreros wouldn't give in either, as McIntyre scored 11 consecutive USD points in the five-minute period, but it ultimately wasn't enough for San Diego, who ran out of time in the 2-point loss
