CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Stephen Thompson scored 18 points, including a game-winning 3-pointer just before the buzzer, as Oregon State defeated Washington 82-81 on Wednesday night.
Oregon State inbounded the ball with 3.3 seconds left, trailing by two, as Thompson went the length of the court and heaved up a contested shot from the 3-point line. He appeared to shuffle his feet prior to the shot but it was not called.
Drew Eubanks added 17 points with 13 rebounds, Gary Payton II had 15 points, 10 rebounds and five steals, and Tres Tinkle scored 16 for the Beavers (16-10, 7-8 Pac-12).
Thompson, a freshman, also gave the Beavers a 71-69 win against Utah on Feb. 4 when he was fouled on a half-court shot as time expired and made all three free throws.
Andrew Andrews scored 30 points and matched a career-high with six 3-pointers for the Huskies (16-12, 8-8), who have lost five of their last six. Dejounte Murray scored 15 points and Marquese Chriss had 14 points.
The Huskies had a 77-72 lead with 2:25 left.
A Eubanks layup trimmed the Huskies' lead to 79-75 with one minute remaining. The basket was the Beavers first field goal in about nine minutes. Washington turned the ball over on its next possession and Tres Tinkle made a contested shot with his toe on the 3-point line with 22 seconds left for the Beavers.
Crisp was fouled with 20.5 seconds left and made 1 of 2 free throws for an 80-77 lead.
Payton inbounded the ball to Tinkle, but officials ruled Tinkle was fouled before he could shoot. He made both free throws, and Andrews was fouled.
Andrews made 1 of 2 at the stripe, and the Beavers inbounded the ball to Thompson.
