State of the Beavs: WCC Tournament, Spring Football Preview + Beavs Baseball Concerns
In this story:
It's a busy weekend for Oregon State sports. The West Coast Conference tournament begins in Las Vegas for both Beaver basketball programs. Scott Rueck's women's team is the #3 seed and begin play on Sunday, while Wayne Tinkle and the men's team begin on Saturday as the #5 seed. Plus, spring football practices have begun in Corvallis as Trent Bray's program prepares for 2025. What should the priorities be for Maalik Murphy, Anthony Hankerson, and the rest of the Beavers?
Plus, Oregon State baseball is still a top-ten team, but haven't put together the most consistent string of performances through the first three weeks. Should that be cause for concern? Your host Matt Bagley breaks down all of it this week on a new edition of State of the Beavs.
