CORVALLIS - Oregon State pulled away for a 78-65 win against Cal Poly in the Oregon Rain Invitational on Sunday.

The Beavers Marcel Jones scored 21 points and Sasa Cuic added 20.

Dawin Whiten had 22 points and six assists for Cal Poly.

Josh Tarver added 13 points, seven rebounds and five assists for the Beavers, who went 2-1 in the four-team, round-robin tournament.

Oregon State coach Jay John said “Three games in less than 48 hours usually dictates subpar performances by both teams and usually it’s a situation where the guys have to overcome the mental exhaustion and push through barriers. We showed some of our inexperience in the second half and we got to a point where we were feeling sorry for ourselves.”

With the win the Beavers move to 2-1 on the young season, while the Mustangs fall to 1-2.
