STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Jordan Pope scored 30 points and Oregon State beat Stanford 85-73 on Saturday, ending a seven-game losing streak and getting its first road win of the season.

Pope hit three 3-pointers and was 10 of 17 from the floor, finishing one point shy of matching a career best. Michael Rataj scored a career-high 22 points, made four from deep and grabbed 10 rebounds for Oregon State (12-16, 4-13 Pac-12), which entered the game on an 11-game road losing streak.

Tyler Bilodeau added 18 points for Oregon State. Dexter Akanno chipped in with 11. The Beavers shot 53% (29 of 55) overall, made 19 of 23 free throws and outrebounded the Cardinal 39-22.

Stanford’s Spencer Jones entered two 3s shy of surpassing Chasson Randle’s (2011-2015) program-record 304 from long range. He made two 3s to start the game and broke the record at the 17-minute mark. Jones made three 3s and scored 11 first-half points, and he finished with 13 points before fouling out with about five minutes left.
