Shortly after Hackett's 3-pointer, Haynes drove to the basket before dumping the ball back to sophomore forward Omari Johnson who hit a 3-point shot of his own. Haynes followed on the next possession with a three from the wing bringing the Beavers within 9 points.
With 5:02 left in the game, senior guard Rickey Claitt threw an alley-oop lob toward the basket to Haynes, who was fouled on the attempt. The play resulted in only 1 point for OSU at the free-throw line, but it was the play that brought Beaver Nation to their feet.
"The fans were great," Schaftenaar said. "It was really loud and they made us play better and gave us a lot of energy."
Feeding off the energy of the crowd Oregon State climbed within 3 points with a little over a minute remaining. A moment after Claitt was helped off the court with an injury and only less than a minute remaining, Haynes missed a shot giving the ball to USC. Schaftenaar came up with a critical steal, before calling a timeout and giving OSU one last shot.
Haynes drew the attention of multiple USC defenders before dishing to Schaftenaar who was left wide open at the top of the key. Schaftenaar launched the open three, which fell through the net with 01.4 seconds left giving Oregon State a 54-54 tie.
"Roe was on today," Haynes said. "When I see him like this all you can do is give him the ball, give him the ball."
USC controlled the tip in overtime and scored the first three points of the overtime period. Johnson responded with a 3-pointer tying the game at 57-57, before Haynes and Tarver put the game out of reach 62-57. Oregon State surrendered a free-throw to USC before the game ended with 62-58 Beaver victory.
Schaftenaar tied his career high 18 points, the junior from the Netherlands led all scorers and led OSU with 6 assists. Haynes scored in double digits for the sixth time this season, finishing with 16 points.
"We had to play two of the most athletic teams," Oregon State head coach Craig Robinson said. "We were hoping to keep the momentum we had going from the second half of the UCLA game and then just see how the chips fell. We came out and really played our butts off. I was very pleased with how they played."
On Friday, Oregon State was defeated by UCLA 69-46 at Legendary Gill Coliseum. The Beavers return to action Thursday at Arizona State.
