SEATTLE (Interstat) — The Oregon State Beavers, riding the momentum of their most dominant win of the season, visit the Seattle Redhawks on Sunday in a nonconference men’s basketball rematch at Key Arena. Oregon State (14-13) arrives fresh off a 90-63 road rout of San Francisco on Thursday, where Josiah Lake (16 points, 7 assists) led a balanced attack. The Beavers have won three of their last four, with the lone loss in that stretch coming against Gonzaga. Seattle (15-11) looks to rebound after two narrow road losses last week, falling 84-72 at Santa Clara and 54-53 at Portland. The Redhawks have struggled offensively at times, failing to reach 60 points in three of their last five games. The Beavers won the season’s first meeting 68-55 in Corvallis on Jan. 8. In that game, Oregon State’s defense held Seattle to 32% shooting from the field. A key matchup will feature the teams’ standout guards. Oregon State’s Lake, a dynamic playmaker, is averaging 15.4 points and 3.6 assists over his last seven games. He is coming off a performance against San Francisco where he added three blocks, showcasing his two-way impact. Seattle will counter with Brayden Maldonado, who leads the Redhawks in scoring during that same seven-game span, putting up 13.7 points per contest. He tallied 17 points and five assists in the loss to Santa Clara. For Oregon State, sustaining the offensive efficiency displayed against San Francisco, where they shot 54% from the field and had 22 assists, will be critical. Dez White (17 points) and Jorge Diaz Graham (18 points) provided vital scoring support in that win. Seattle’s path to victory likely hinges on tightening its defense and finding more consistent scoring beyond Maldonado. Jun Seok Yeo, who had 17 points against Santa Clara, is a primary candidate to provide that boost. Tipoff is set for Sunday afternoon at Key Arena. Oregon State visits Pepperdine next Saturday, while Seattle hosts Saint Mary’s on Wednesday.
