SAINT THOMAS, Virgin Islands (AP) — Mikayla Blakes scored 23 of her season-high 35 points in the first half, Justin Pissott hit five 3-pointers and finished with 17 points, and No. 17 Vanderbilt beat Oregon State 88-66 on Thursday night in the Island Division of the Paradise Jam.
The Commodores (7-0) play undefeated BYU in the championship game on Saturday. Oregon State (5-1) takes on Virginia Tech in the consolation game.
Pissott and Aubrey Galvan hit 3-pointers before Blakes stole a pass and took it for a layup to give the Commodores an 8-0 lead just 71 seconds into the game and Jada Brown hit a 3 that stretch the lead to 13 points at the end of the first quarter.
Pissott hit a 3-pointer 89 seconds into the third quarter that made it 50-38 and Vanderbilt led by double figures the rest of the way. The Commodores scored 19 of the first 23 second-half points, capped by a 10-0 run that culminated when Blakes made a driving layup that made it 62-42 with 3:34 remaining in the third.
Ally Schimel had 15 points and nine rebounds, Jenna Villa also scored 15 points, and Lizzy Williamson added 14 for the Beavers.

The Commodores are 4-0 all time against the Beavers, most recently an 81-55 win on Nov. 11, 2001.
