Who are the CSU women playing?
Oregon State made a run to the Elite Eight in the 2024 NCAA Tournament and the Beavers are receiving votes in the top-25 coaches poll.
The fop four scorers from last season for Oregon State are gone, so it’s a new-look team. The Beavers do bring a lot of size, with 6-foot-5 (Kelsey Rees) and 6-foot-7 (Sela Heide) players on the inside. It is Oregon State’s first game of the season.
CSU is 1-0 after a 52-47 win over San Francisco in the opener.
