You would be hard pressed to find a better pair to build a team around We're Beaver fans but there are a couple other very fine duos on that list. Tough league.

Media thinks OSU will finish 10th in the last PAC-12 season. Great bulletin board motivation. GO BEAVS!

This is probably already been said before, but the Beavs closed out very strong last year - they could wind up about anywhere at the end of the season.

We must have VERY different opinions of finishing strong. I guess if your data set is 1-1 in Pac12 tourney? 2-2 with back to back W's vs Zona & SC... but L vs lowly ASU? After the Oregon win OSU went like 2-11 I believe... with 9 or 10 losses in a row.

Last year was last year. As Coach Rueck stated at Media Day, he wasn't surprised of OSU WBB's predicted finish based on the past few seasons. As we learned from WSU last season, anything is possible. Having said that, this PAC-12 conference is the toughest conference top to bottom. Another PAC-12 coach stated it clearly today that every PAC-12 game will be a battle.
This OSU season, if our OSU WBB team members remain healthy, OSU will finish in the top 6. We have the talent. We won't have multiple freshman having to play big minutes this season--we have experience. We have Aleah Goodman to coach up our guard play (especially at the PG position), and we have Gill. I don't see us losing many home games this season.

WSU last season? What exactly was learned? The season before they were an NCAA tourney team.
In '22-23 they were coming off a 19-11/11-6 record and Tourney berth.
Last season's 23-11/9-9 was no surprise. Certainly not like coming off consecutive bottom tier finishes.

While they are great players and leaders on the court much of my comment had to do with their leadership off the court. When the transfers happened Talia was quick to respond by reconfirming her commitment to the team. Raegan appears to be cut from the same cloth.

Interesting read, grey. I do think UCLA has the best talent and should win, but they've had the best talent under Close before, and weren't able to get it done. I'm still a little undecided, but I can't find myself picking UCLA yet. As for the Beavs, I could see them coming in 6th, maybe even better, but to do so they will really need to grow during the season. Any way you look at it, the Beavs should be fun to watch. Raegan herself is worth the price of admission. She has some talent around her, but experience may be what hurts this team.

I don’t expect that to change this season.
