The Oregon State Beavers (2-3, 0-2) suffered its worst loss of the season, by far, falling 87-86 to the University of Portland (4-1) at Gill Coliseum Thursday evening. 

Ahmed Ali hit a three-pointer with 14 seconds left in overtime to take a four-point lead over the Beavers, causing an Oregon State timeout. 

Ethan Thompson would hit a three-pointer with a second remaining to make the score a one-point loss. He finished the game with 31 points on 9-17 from the field. Thompson added ten points from the free-throw line. 

It's the first Pilots victory over a P5 opponent since the 2016-17 season when Portland coincidentally defeated Oregon State 53-45.
