WINNERS WIN
Scott Rueck enters Year 29 at Oregon State as one of college basketball's most proven winners. In 15 years at OSU he took a team that needed tryouts to fill a roster in his first year to three Elite Eights, five Sweet 16s and the 2016 Final Four. Prior to joining OSU, Rueck turned George Fox into a Division III power, winning the 2009 National Championship. In 2024-25, Rueck just earned his 300th win with the Beavers and is 8 away from 600 career victories. He would be one of 16 active coaches with 600 wins.

BOARDING GROUP C
Catarina Ferreira is on the floor to attack the glass. The senior is just six feet tall, but is second on the OSU team with 6.2 rebounds per game in her first year as a Beaver. If she maintains the average, Ferreira would be one of just six Beavs listed at 6-0 or smaller to record 6+ rebounds per game in a season, joining Mikayla Pivec, Jamie Weisner, Felicia Ragland, Judie Lomax and Earlysia Marchbanks.

TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT OREGON STATE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
After winning back-to-back overtime games at Gonzaga and Portland, watching Beaver basketball isn't exactly cardiologist-recommended. The Beavs went to overtime in their first three WCC games this season. The back-to-back OT contests were the first since losses at Washington and Washington State in 2013 (1/25-27). Three OT games is the most since 2018-19 when the Beavs went an identical 2-1 in games needing an extra period. A fourth overtime contest would make for the most since the 2012-13 season. The Beavs were 0-4 in those games.
