Oregon State has moved up two spots to No. 9 in the latest Associated Press poll released Monday morning, following a weekend road sweep of No. 23 Arizona State and Arizona.
It’s the highest the Beavers (22-2, 11-1 Pac-12) have been ranked this season. OSU has won seven games in a row, including Friday’s 54-45 victory at Arizona State and Sunday’s 65-57 win at Arizona. OSU is tied for first place in the Pac-12 with No. 8 Stanford, a team the Beavers topped in double-overtime in Palo Alto earlier this season and will meet again in Corvallis on Feb. 24.
Besides OSU, Stanford and Arizona State, No. 10 Washington and No. 15 UCLA are the Pac-12 teams ranked in the poll.
The Beavers next host USC on Friday and UCLA — the only team to beat OSU in conference play — on Sunday.
Later Monday, the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee will reveal its updated top 16 seeds. Two weeks ago, OSU was ranked as a No. 2 seed and No. 8 overall.
