Oregon State is a three-seed for the first time since 2015 when OSU hosted for the first time in school history. It is the Beavs’ first time with a top-three seed since 2016-17, when they were a no. 2.
The Beavs will enter the tournament with a 24-7 record after finishing fourth in the Pac-12 with a 12-6 record in conference play. Six of Oregon State’s seven losses were to top ten teams and the Beavs own a 6-6 record this year against AP Top 25 foes.
