Oregon State's women's basketball team, an Elite Eight team with no seniors, is undergoing a significant transformation with seven of its 13 players, including sophomore guard Martha Pietsch, star Raegan Beers, Talia von Oelhoffen, and Timea Gardiner, entering the transfer portal. Amidst conference realignment challenges, this exodus leads to its transition to becoming a WCC affiliate member following the disintegration of the Pac-12. Notably, Beers, a 6-4 sophomore post player, had an impressive season with an average of 17.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. This upheaval marks a major shift for Oregon State, which will essentially field a new team in Corvallis.
Oregon State 6-4 forward Raegan Beers (17.5ppg/10.3rpg) is in the transfer portal with a "do not contact" tag. Overall, 7 Oregon State players in the portal as of today. #ncaaw

Oregon State was an Elite Eight team with no seniors. As of now, 6 of their 13 players have entered the portal and I would guess there will be more. Conference realignment has been brutal for OSU. It'll be a whole new team in Corvallis. https://t.co/EUQ5sMggHg

This isn't meant to comfort the Oregon State fan base, pummeled by transfer news in the past week. But this stuff is happening everywhere. Indiana State, the NIT runnerup with its entire starting lineup returning for next season, has lost all 5 to the portal.
