South Carolina women's basketball is gearing up for its next matchup in the NCAA Tournament.
The No. 1 seed Gamecocks (33-3) will face No. 4 seed Oklahoma (26-7) in the Sweet 16 in Sacramento, California, on March 28 (5 p.m. ET, ESPN).
One of the Sooners' top players is senior center Raegan Beers. When Oklahoma beat South Carolina during the regular season, Beers played a large role, scoring 18 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
Here's what to know about Beers before the Gamecocks' rematch against her and the Sooners in March Madness.
Beers has started all 33 games for Oklahoma. She averages 15.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 24.5 minutes per game. She shoots 61.7% from the field.
Beers was a first-team All-SEC selection and is a top five finalist for the Lisa Leslie Award given to the nation's top center. She is also one of 15 finalists for the John R. Wooden Award recognizing the nation's top player.
Beers is listed at 6-foot-4 on Oklahoma's roster.
Beers wears the number 15. Her jersey went viral in January after the Oklahoma women's basketball X account posted a picture of Beers sitting on the bench during a game. The back of her jersey reads "15 Beers."
According to ESPN, after the viral post, Beers signed an NIL jersey deal with Fanatics, and her jersey sales took off. Beers ranked first in January merchandise sales among all Oklahoma athletes.
On Jan. 21, Beers launched her own merchandise collection, including T-shirts printed with her new slogan: "Here for Beers."
Beers' parents are named Kari and Ike. Beers' father Ike has become a viral sensation due to his energetic antics while rooting for Beers and the Sooners. His distinct whistle, over-the-top expressions and towering 6-foot-5 stature make him easy to spot in the stands during the Sooners' games.
Yes, Rocky Beers is Raegan Beers' brother. He played tight end at Air Force, FIU and Colorado State before transferring to Oklahoma for the 2026 season. He has 53 receptions for 564 yards and nine touchdowns in his career and was an All-Mountain West second-team selection in 2025.
Beers has another brother named Rowdy, and he played tight end at FIU in 2023. She also has a sister named Rylie, who was a freshman on Belmont's women's basketball team this season.
