STARTING FIVE

Oregon State has an opportunity to help coach Scott Rueck make history on Wednesday as a win would help him pass the legendary Aki Hill for the winningest coach in school history (275 wins with a win Wednesday)
The Beavs are 4-0 entering Wednesday's game after blowing out UMBC 88-56
Raegan Beers was otherworldly in the win with 27 points, 16 boards and 4 steals
Kelsey Rees recorded a career-high in scoring last week with 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the floor and a 3-for-4 day from three. She also blocked two shots
Talia von Oelhoffen neared a triple double in the win, scoring seven points to go with eight assists and seven rebounds. She also had three steals

EVERYONE DISHES, EVERYONE EATS
Like most offenses, Oregon State's is at its best when players are sharing the ball. Despite a nearly half-new team, the Beavs are averaging 18.8 assists per game and assist on over 60 percent of their made baskets. The result: Eight Oregon State players this season have scored in double-figures at least once. Talia von Oelhoffen is settling into a role as a distributor - in addition to her usual scoring and floor-spacing - with a career-high 4.8 assists per game.

DOMINATING DEFENSE
The Beavers are known for their lockdown D under Scott Rueck. Oregon State has allowed 58.7 points per game over the course of his tenure and has held opponents under 65 points in 70% of its games. The Beavs are 234-62 (.790) when holding the opponent to 65 points or fewer and 196-35 (.844) when holding opponents under 60 in the Rueck Era.

MAKING THEM EARN IT
Keeping opponents off the scoreboard starts with keeping them off the free throw line. The Beavs have been one of the best teams in the country at that in the Rueck era. Over the last 12 seasons, only 13 power conference teams have averaged under 13 fouls per game over the course of a single season. Oregon State is the only team to do it four times (2016-17, 17-18, 19-20, 21-22).
