Oregon State 66, Purdue 58: Devon Collier had career highs of 27 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Beavers in the third-place game at the 2K Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Collier, a junior forward who grew up in New York City, had 17 points and nine rebounds in the first half en route to the fourth double-double of his career. Roberto Nelson added 10 points for Oregon State (3-1) and Angus Brandt scored nine before leaving the game with about five minutes remaining after suffering an apparent right knee injury.

Purdue (1-3) was led by 7-foot freshman A.J. Hammons, who came off the bench to score 20 points and grab eight rebounds. D.J. Byrd contributed 11 points and Anthony Johnson had 10 - all in the game’s first 12 minutes - for the Boilermakers.

Hammons made two free throws with 2:17 remaining to tie the score at 56, but the Beavers scored the next eight points to put the game away.

Oregon State outscored Purdue 15-8 over the final seven minutes of the first half to go ahead by 11 points. Joe Burton then made the first two baskets of the second half to push the lead to 15.
