As reported earlier in this forum, Lindy's Sports has the Beavers ranked #10 in its preseason Top 25. Oregon leads five PAC-12 teams in the Top 25 at #2. Stanford is #7. UCLA at #22. Arizona State at #23. Lindy's preseason Top 25 is listed below. This is what Lindy's wrote in its one paragraph summary of OSU:
"The Beavers bring back four starters from an Elite Eight team that led the country with a 40.4% percentage from beyond the 3-point line. They lose first-round WBNA Draft pick Marie Gulich down low, but that blow should be softened by the addition of top-10 recruit and 6-9 Paraguay native Andrea Aquino. The Beavers also will get a boost from the addition of guard Destiny Slocum, who was the National Freshman of the Year (WBCA) in 2016-2017 at Maryland before transferring to Oregon State and sitting out last season."
