Oregon State remained undefeated in Pacific 10 Conference play by overcoming a 38-point performance by Oregon’s Terrell Brandon and beating the Ducks, 84-76, Saturday at Corvallis, Ore.

Teo Alibegovic and Charles McKinney each made four free throws in the final three minutes to help the Beavers (9-4 overall, 3-0 in the Pac-10) hold off a late rally by the Ducks (7-6, 2-1).

After trailing by as many as 14 points in the first half, Oregon rallied to pull to within 74-72 with 2:27 left after consecutive three-point baskets by Jordy Lyden.
