Tres Tinkle, the conference's second-leading scorer at 20.4 points per game, finished with 18 points on 4-for-12 shooting, but 13 of those points came in the second half when the outcome was already decided. Tinkle grabbed a game-high nine rebounds.

Oregon State's Kylor Kelley, who leads the nation with 3.89 blocked shots per game, was limited to 19 minutes because of foul trouble and didn't get a block.
