The Oregon State Beavers (4-5) will host the Seattle Redhawks (7-1) on Thursday night. Seattle has won two straight after their only loss at Washington in late November. Seattle most recently rallied past North Dakota 80-78 in overtime. Down 17 at the break, the Redhawks exploded for 51 points in the second half, nearly tripling their production from the first 20 minutes of play. Cameron Tyson, the team's leading scorer and an all-conference member last season, dropped 24 points on 8-of-19 in the win. Fifth-year senior and 2020 All-WAC honoree Riley Grigsby finished with 13 points, three rebounds, and a team-high four assists.
2022 is Grigsby's fourth straight season averaging double-digit scoring. Former Washington State big man Brandton Chatfield added 10 points and five rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench.

Seattle vs. Oregon State Prediction
The offenses have the edge as per the ShotQuality data. Oregon State wants to get out and run in transition, while Seattle has been horrid in that department all season. Meanwhile, The Redhawks use a ton of screens and off-the-dribble threes in the halfcourt, a shot type the Beavers have had problems with all year. So expect points to come easy tonight in this Pac-12-WAC matchup.
Prediction: Over 136.5 (-110)
