They continued this trend into the second quarter, maintaining their offensive and defensive intensity. The third quarter saw no respite for the Sun Devils as Oregon State further extended their lead. By the fourth quarter, it was clear that victory was firmly in grasp for Oregon State.
The Beavers' shooting accuracy was nothing short of remarkable; they achieved a field goal percentage of 59 and were particularly lethal from two-point range with an impressive 63 percent conversion rate. Their prowess from beyond the arc was also on full display as they hit half of their three-point attempts.
Defensively, Oregon State matched their offensive output by securing six blocks and six steals which contributed to disrupting Arizona State's rhythm.

This collective effort resulted in an assist-to-turnover ratio that stood at an impressive figure: for every turnover committed by Oregon State players, nearly two assists were recorded.
On individual performances, while all players contributed valiantly to this comprehensive win, it is worth noting that points off turnovers were slightly higher for Arizona State at twelve compared to ten by Oregon State—a testament to both teams' aggressive defense but also highlighting areas where even dominant teams can seek improvement.
The Sun Devils fought hard despite being outmatched; they managed to convert seventy-eight percent from free throw line but struggled overall from field goals making only twenty-eight percent overall including nineteen percent from three-point land which significantly hampered their ability to keep pace with Oregon States’ scoring efficiency.
