From the outset, Oregon State set a strong pace with 15 points in the first quarter, although they trailed by three points as Eastern Washington put up 18. However, that would be the last time the Eagles led; by halftime, Oregon State had surged ahead with an additional 24 points to Eastern Washington's nine. The home team continued its offensive onslaught adding another 17 points in both third and fourth quarters.


The statistics painted a clear picture of Oregon State's superiority on both ends of the floor. They nearly doubled their opponents' assists with an impressive count of 19 and outrebounded them significantly with a total of 45 rebounds compared to just 26 for Eastern Washington. Their shooting was also notably efficient; they hit an outstanding 64 percent from two-point range and maintained a solid field goal percentage at 55 percent overall.


Defensively, Oregon State was just as formidable. They blocked twice as many shots as Eastern Washington and limited them to shooting only 30 percent from field goals and a mere 22 percent from beyond the arc.


Eastern Washington did manage some defensive feats with an impressive number of steals at fifteen but could not capitalize enough on turnovers scoring only twenty-three points off them compared to seven for Oregon State.


The star players for Oregon State were relentless under pressure – sinking seven three-pointers at a rate of thirty-nine percent – contributing significantly to their twelve second-chance points which underscored their control over rebounds both defensively and offensively.
