SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - The University of San Francisco men's basketball team (2-1) got back in the win column on Wednesday night as four Dons finished in double figures to help USF defeat Portland State (1-2), 80-70, at War Memorial at the Sobrato Center.

The Dons were led offensively by Ryan Beasley, who had 23 points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal in a team-high 36 minutes of action. Mookie Cook tacked on 13 points, five rebounds, and two blocks off the bench, while Vukasin Masic added 11 points on 3-of-4 from beyond the arc.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

• After jumping out to a 14-9 lead, San Francisco went on a 12-0 run with 12:34 left in the first half to increase its lead to 26-9. The Dons then lost some of that lead, but still entered halftime with a 36-20 advantage. USF did most of its first half damage in the paint, scoring 20 of its 36 points close to the basket.
• San Francisco kept its lead intact before going on a 6-0 run, finished off by Tyrone Riley IV's three, to grow the lead to 68-55 with 5:53 to go in the contest. The Vikings narrowed the margin somewhat before the game was over, but the Dons hung on the rest of the way for the 80-70 win. San Francisco shot well from three-point range in the half, hitting seven shots from deep to score 21 of its 44 points.

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:

• Four Dons finished in double figures: Beasley (23), Cook (13), Tyrone Riley IV (11), and Masic (11).
• San Francisco shot well from three-point range, knocking down 10 of 25 long range attempts. Masic was the most prolific shooter for the Dons, draining three triples in the contest.
• USF had a 43-37 edge on the boards in the win. San Francisco cleaned up on the offensive glass, collecting 15 offensive boards in the game. Both David Fuchs and Tyrone Riley IV finished with six rebounds each.
