Junior guard Langston Morris-Walker scored 17 points to lead Oregon State but the Beavers fell 68-55 to USC on Saturday afternoon in a Pacific-12 Conference game at the Galen Center in LA. Morris-Walker hit 4 of 7 3-pointers to keep the Beavers (16-9, 7-6) within striking distance of the Trojans (10-15, 2-11) for much of the second half. However, an 18-3 run by USC encompassing both halves proved to be too much for OSU to overcome. OSU hosts Utah at 8 p.m. Thursday.
