NCAA Basketball: Top 10 players to wear jersey No. 34 in 2023-24 season

4. Tyler Bilodeau (Oregon State)

An underclassman forward originally from Washington, Bilodeau found his way to Oregon State to begin his college career back in 2022. The Beavers haven’t exactly been in phenomenal shape as a program and now have conference woes of their own to deal with in the future. Fortunately, Bilodeau has shown signs of significant promise and is fresh off an impactful sophomore season.

Oregon State notched a dead-last finish in the final year of the Pac-12, but Bilodeau took a measured step forward in his second year of college ball. He put up 14.3 points and 5.7 rebounds a game, making 60% of his 2-point attempts while showing promise as a long-range shooter as well. He blossomed as a major factor for the Beavers and was one of the most efficient offensive players in the Pac-12.

Bilodeau had 18 points and 12 rebounds against Troy for one of his few double-doubles in the opening week of the season. Perhaps his most notable effort was a 26-point performance in an upset win over USC right before New Year’s. Bilodeau would have several scoring totals of note, including another 26 points against rival Oregon, but this program just didn’t have the talent to compete in the league. We’ll see how he fares in the Big Ten next year after transferring to UCLA.
