CORVALLIS – The Oregon State women's basketball team has been tabbed as the No. 9 team in the nation by the NCAA Selection Committee, as the group released its first preliminary rankings of the season Monday.
If the season ended today, the Beavers would be a No. 3 seed in the Fort Wayne Regional. Monday's reveal is the first of two scheduled by the NCAA Selection Committee this season, with the second coming on March 2. Neither preliminary reveal has any direct effect on the Committee's final selections, which will be announced during the NCAA Tournament Selection Show on March 16.
