PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Bryce White had 19 points and five assists as Portland State knocked off Division III Willamette 84-63 last night. Willamette stayed close early, trailing only 17-13 midway in the first half, but then the Vikings found the range, going on a 23-4 run for a 40-17 lead with 3:38 remaining before the break. They led 48-27 at the half.
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) – Gary Payton II had 16 points, nine rebounds and three blocks as Oregon State beat Corban 86-62 last night. Langston Morris-Walker added 16 points and had five rebounds for the Beavers (2-0), who had five players score in double figures. The game was an exhibition for Corban, an NAIA school, but counted toward Oregon State’s record.
