So, along with some winter weather, the Oregon schools also come into Boulder this weekend to face the Buffs in the Buffs' last home games of the year. (Wow- these different sport seasons always seem to go so quick when they're nearing the end.) 1st up tonight is a tough challenge- the nationally ranked #7 Oregon State Beavers.

A little bit about OSU from that preview:
"
...
Oregon State has rolled through every portion of its schedule; its only blemishes came at No. 6 Tennessee, when the Beavers got into foul trouble and committed an uncharacteristically high 19 turnovers, and at Washington, where the Huskies got hot from deep in the second half.
There is no blueprint for beating Oregon State. The Beavers boast the Pac-12’s second-best scoring offense and second-best scoring defense. They lead the conference in field goal percentage (47) and in field goal percentage defense (34). They shoot 38 percent from 3-point range — second in the Pac-12 and eighth in the country — and allow opponents to sink just 26 percent of their treys, which ranks third in the conference. Oregon State has the Pac-12’s best rebounding margin and assist-to-turnover ratio, and it blocks more shots than any other conference team. The Beavers’ average margin of victory is 22 points.
...
When Colorado is clicking, though, it can certainly match Oregon State’s whirring ball movement and sharp cuts; the Buffs will need that crisp passing, constant off-ball movement and old-fashioned physicality to keep Beavers junior center Ruth Hamblin out of the paint. Hamblin is the Pac-12’s leading shot-blocker, and she swats almost four per game.
...Hamblin and guards Jamie Weisner and Sydney Wiese each average around 13 points per game, and they do it with remarkable efficiency.
Hamblin leads the conference in field goal percentage; she makes just shy of 60 percent of her attempts. Wiese is the Pac-12’s top three-point shooter — she hits 46 percent of her treys — and Weisner is fourth at 42 percent. They’re the conference’s most prolific snipers; together they make nearly six treys per game, and last week Wiese set the school record for career 3-pointers made despite being only three-quarters of the way through her sophomore year. She's also second in the conference in assists.
