CORVALLIS, Ore. (Interstat) — Two teams coming off high-scoring, season-opening victories will meet Friday night when the Illinois-Chicago Flames visit the Oregon State Beavers at Gill Coliseum.

Both teams enter the nonconference matchup with 1-0 records. Illinois-Chicago dominated its opener, cruising to a 91-71 win over Detroit on Monday. The Flames’ offense was powered by Ahmad Henderson II, who poured in 23 points in just 24 minutes of play. Rashund Washington Jr. and Elijah Crawford added 13 points apiece, with Washington dishing out five assists.

Oregon State also opened its season Monday, but had a much tighter contest, edging North Dakota State 67-65.
