750 The Game Staff
Oregon State men’s basketball got its signature win of the 2024-25 season on Thursday night with a 97-89 victory over No. 16 Gonzaga in front of a sellout crowd at Gill Coliseum.
It was OSU’s first home sellout since a February 2020 victory over rival Oregon.
Michael Rataj scored a game-high 29 points with 7 rebounds and 2 assists and a block.
OSU led 81-77 with 38 seconds left in regulation, but three-pointers from Ben Gregg and Graham Ike helped Gonzaga force overtime. OSU outscored the Zags 14-6 in the extra session to pull the upset.
