The Aggies travel to Corvallis to play the newest member of the West Coast Conference. The Beavers are the land of tall trees as they have four players who are over 6' 10" although one of the "shorter" men, forward Michael Rataj at 6' 9" is the one to watch. He's their leading scorer (16 ppg) and rebounder (9.2 rpg). Guard Nate Kingz, their second leading scorer who averages only 13.2 ppg is nonetheless a deadly outside shooter having made 16 of 28 treys so far (a 57% average). OSU reeled off four straight wins ti start their season including a 70-51 victory over Fullerton, but they ran into two very good schools in Oregon and North Texas State and lost to the latter by only 3 points on the road. They average 75 ppg on offense and hold opponents to an average of 57.3 ppg. Despite the fact that Stanford is now 6-0, this is likely the Ags toughest opponent this season. Wayne Tinkle is their coach and after his final season in the Pac-12 at 5-15, he seems to have assembled a strong team combining five transfers with two returning starters in a 7-man rotation.
