CORVALLIS – A trio of Oregon State men’s basketball players have earned All-West Coast Conference honors, the WCC announced Tuesday morning.
Michael Rataj led the way with an All-First Team selection. Parsa Fallah was selected to the Second Team, while Nate Kingz was tabbed as an Honorable Mention.
Rataj was a three-time WCC Player of the Week this season, and is top-10 in the conference in points per game (3rd), rebounds per game (4th), steals per game (1st), field goal percentage (2nd) and free throw percentage (9th). Overall, Rataj is averaging 17.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. He has scored in double-figures 28 times in 31 games this year. The forward is 23 points away from reaching 1,000 in his career.
Parsa Fallah is averaging 12.7 points per game, and is shooting 59.6 percent from the floor. He’s finished in double-figures in six-straight games, including a pair of 24-point performances in that stretch. Fallah has shot 50 percent or better from the floor in 23 of the 30 games he has played this year and has gone over 20 points six times on the season.
Kingz has proven himself as one of the premier shooters in the conference, currently sitting at 44.3 percent from 3-point range – the fifth-best single-season percentage in program history. The guard is averaging 11.6 points per game and has gone over 10 points 19 times in 2024-25.
The Beavers will be the No. 5 seed in this week’s Credit 1 Union WCC Tournament in Las Vegas and will play their first game of the event on Saturday.
