Message: [QUOTE="perdurabo, post: 1654405, member: 3948"] [URL]http://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/sports/blogs/horowitz/2016/02/11/stephen-thompson-jr-giving-beavers-lift/80249706/[/URL] Oregon State freshman guard Stephen Thompson Jr. said the key to his success last week was his ability “to remain positive and stay confident.” Thompson Jr. averaged 13.5 points in victories against Utah and Colorado and was 8 of 14 from the field (57.1 percent). He was especially clutch at the free throw line, hitting 9 of 10 in the two games. In the 71-69 victory over Utah on Feb. 4, Thompson Jr. was fouled on a half-court heave at the buzzer with the Beavers trailing 69-68. He calmly sank three free throws with 0.1 seconds to give OSU a much-needed victory at Gill Coliseum. In Saturday's 64-60 victory over Colorado, Thompson scored eight of his 14 points in the final eight minutes. [/QUOTE]
