Last season was a disappointing one for the Oregon State Women’s Basketball team. The last time the Beavers missed the NCAA Tournament was 2013, the third year of Scott Rueck’s tenure as head coach. Since the end of the season, the Beavers have also been hit by several key departures, both due to graduation and the transfer portal.
We’re going to be seeing a very different Oregon State team take the court this season. Only one full time starter returns, so we’ll be seeing a radically different starting five from what we saw last season. Oregon State does have an extremely promising set of freshmen coming ub, with ESPN rating their 2022 recruiting class as the third best in the country.
