Also scoring in double figures for the Beavers (1-0) in the debut of new head coach Wayne Tinkle were Malcolm Duvivier and Jarmal Reid with 17 points apiece.

In the second half OSU dipped to 38.5 percent accuracy from the field, but as was the case in the first half Rice made good on just 8-of-26 from the floor, allowing the Beavers to secure the comfortable double-digit win.

In addition to shooting just 8-of-29 behind the 3-point line on the night, Rice was also beaten on the boards by a 44-27 margin.
