The Beavers’ season didn’t end with a conference tournament loss to Pepperdine, though. They played in the first-ever College Basketball Crown in Las Vegas, falling to UCF – the eventual runner-up – in the first round.
Minor is one of five Oregon State players to enter the transfer portal so far this cycle. The biggest departure is big man Michael Rataj, who committed to Baylor. Rataj is the No. 26-ranked player and No. 8-ranked power forward to hit the portal, according to the On3 Industry Transfer Rankings.
This past season, Rataj played in 32 games and averaged 16.9 points per game. He also added 7.2 rebounds per game, two assists per game, shot 48.4% from the floor and 35.1% from three-point range. A native of Augsburg, Germany, he will have one year of eligibility remaining as he takes his talents to Baylor.
