STARTING FIVE

Oregon State is looking to go 2-for-2 on West Coast Conference Championships and earn its third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament on Tuesday against Gonzaga
The Beavs and Zags split the season series with OSU winning an overtime thriller in Gill Coliseum before the Bulldogs dominated the rematch in Spokane in early Feb.
The series history doesn't seem to favor the Beavers, but neither did Monday's. OSU had lost both games to LMU heading into the WCC Semifinal before pulling out a 73-67 victory over the Lions, led by Jenna Villa and a career day from Ally Schimel
Schimel entered the game in a slump (2/14 3PT in the last 6 games) before nailing a career-high five triples on the way to another career-high of 21 points
Villa struggled to shoot in the Beavers' opening game and contributed with rebounds and assists before catching fire on Monday en route to a team-high 22 points

LAST TIME OUT: NOTABLES

OSU is 2/2 on #1 seed upsets in WCC
OSU led for 31:40, LMU for 1:46
Schimel - Career-high in pts (21) & three-pointers (5)
Villa - 1 of 10 Beavs since 99-00 to make 100% of 10+ FTs (last: Kelsey Rees, 1/18/25 vs. Portland)
Shuler - Ranks 6th in single-season assists with 174 (record: 203, Boky Vidic)
