SAN FRANCISCO (Interstat) — Two teams seeking consistency in the final stretch of the regular season will meet Thursday when the Oregon State Beavers visit the San Francisco Dons at War Memorial Gymnasium. Oregon State (13-13) and San Francisco (14-12) enter the nonconference matchup with nearly identical records and recent struggles against the top of the West Coast Conference. The Beavers are looking to rebound from an 81-61 home loss to Gonzaga last Saturday, while the Dons are coming off a 79-54 defeat at Saint Mary’s on the same day. The Beavers will rely on guard Dez White, who is coming off one of his best performances despite the loss. White logged 32 minutes, scoring 12 points and dishing six assists against the Bulldogs. Over his last four games, he is averaging 9.3 points and 2.3 assists. His backcourt play will be crucial for an Oregon State team that has shown resilience, with recent road overtime wins at San Diego and Loyola Marymount. For San Francisco, forward Junjie Wang has been a bright spot. He scored 14 points against Saint Mary’s and poured in 19 in a loss to Loyola Marymount last Wednesday. In his last three contests, Wang is averaging 14.7 points, providing a key scoring punch for the Dons’ frontcourt. This game is a quick rematch of a Dec. 30 meeting in Corvallis, where Oregon State secured a 70-62 victory. The Beavers will aim for a regular-season sweep, while the Dons seek to defend their home court and even the series. Both teams have faced similar league schedules, with each registering just one win combined against the conference’s powerhouse trio of Gonzaga, Saint Mary’s and Santa Clara. This contest represents an opportunity for either squad to build momentum before returning to conference play. The matchup hinges on which team can control the tempo. Oregon State will need to replicate its defensive effort from the first meeting, while San Francisco will look to leverage its home-court advantage where it has posted a 10-4 record this season. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. PST Thursday at War Memorial Gymnasium.
