Nothing as egregious as the Beers foul.Refs tried to make up for it with bad calls against SCar in the second half

That was a normal basketball play. She was fighting for defensive position and Beers wasn't ready. That was definitely a missed called but a basketball play.A steamroll? It was something.
Oregon St could have pulled off the upset if they could have made even half of their open shots/layups.
Almost all teams are beatable...............the last teams I can remember that weren't beatable all had some tall skinny player named Breanna on them............
not when it counted..............UConn and Stewart.......... four straight NCAA WBB Championships........And even those teams got beat.......
The game would have been a huge blowout if South Carolina had made theirs. That "if" stuff goes both ways.Oregon St could have pulled off the upset if they could have made even half of their open shots/layups.
I'm surprised. I'm nervous about this game. NC State's guards are a lot to handle when they play cohesively. I'm scared that Paopao is a step too slow on defense and that Milaysia will be contained by your guards because she can't use her athleticism as an advantage against the likes of Rivers and James. I'm also having PTSD from the men's loss against Oregon where a former Gamecock put up 40 on us. I'm fearful that Rivers is going to play out of her mind because she is facing her old team.South Carolina has opened as an 11.5 point favorite over NC State Friday night.
Who mentioned history?not when it counted..............UConn and Stewart.......... four straight NCAA WBB Championships........
I thought it evened out in the end. Beers had a blatant moving screen in the 3rd that wasn’t called and led to an OSU triple. Just mediocre reffing back and forth which was frustrating to see, but I didn’t think it was 1 sided.Nothing as egregious as the Beers foul.
They are, but they don't seem to have the "finish them" mode these last few games. That ESPN post where they showed Johnson's quote "Who can guard us?" in contrast with Coach Staley's "We have up a (22 point) lead) comes to mind. Yes, the competition is tougher as it gets closer to the Final Four, but with the depth everyone talks about, sometimes I wonder why they can't win by larger margins.South Carolina is too good. They’re the most bullet proof team left in my opinion. Can beat you so many different ways. They’ve got depth and different players who can step up both inside and outside. Will need a C game from SC and a A+ game from all other teams if they want a chance to pull off the upset win.
Sure, but I’d rather have one phantom foul in the first half immediately followed by a make-up whistle than three less egregious bad calls in the 2nd.Nothing as egregious as the Beers foul.
Oregon State was the last team we’ll see that we can beat with a C game. I just hate that the team took it as a challenge to prove that correct.South Carolina is too good.

I hope not!From your keyboard to Gods ears
Still trying it Sir Jinxalot?Oregon State was the only team in the field I thought could potentially challenge South Carolina based on their shooting ability and strength in the post.. No team left has the personal to stay within 20 of them. Nc State doesn’t have the shooting or the inside play to make it competitive . LSU lacks depth. Iowa lacks size. UConn lacks size depth and shooting. USC lacks size.
I’d have them start hanging the banner in Columbia if I was Dans after yesterdays game.
It's like they forgot what happened last year when the same things were being said.Still trying it Sir Jinxalot?
You are persistent!

The only way SC loses is if Cardoso and Watkins both have the worst games of their lives at the same time. Or if NC State manages to shoot 90% from the floor. Even then SC will still probably win.
