Oregon State (3-1) enters the contest seeking to rebound from its first loss of the season, an 87-75 defeat at Oregon on Monday. Isaiah Sy, Josiah Lake and Yaak Yaak each scored in double figures for the Beavers in the loss. Oregon State’s three victories have been by a combined 10 points, including a 66-64 win over North Texas.

The game is part of a multi-team event in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Evansville will next play at Ball State on Dec. 3, while Oregon State returns home to face California Baptist on Nov. 29.
