Definitely not. UO cranking up the defensive pressure and forcing TOs, and they're hot this quarter.Okay, maybe it is over.
Graves seems willing to tolerate some attitude. Dugalic and Watson brought some good energy in Q4. Prince was okay this game but she didn't go off like she did a few days against the Beavs in Eugene.Did Sedona Prince sit the entire fourth quarter for attitude reasons? Prince can get chirpy with her own teammates when things don't go well.
That Covid break for OSU proved timely.Oregon State now has a better winning % than Oregon. Who would of thunk it a month ago.
Oregon State is in fire. Wouldn’t shock me to see them get to the PAC-12 title game. Not sure there’s anyone other than Stanford that they can’t beat.Quite the opposing trajectories of these two teams. Oregon has been dreadful in the latter half of the season, and Oregon State went from laying eggs to salvage its season in the last 3 weeks with massive wins over UCLA and Oregon (twice now), absolutely no doubt they're in the tournament now.
But don't they have to go through Stanford to get to the title game?Oregon State is in fire. Wouldn’t shock me to see them get to the PAC-12 title game. Not sure there’s anyone other than Stanford that they can’t beat.
Cannot recall the last time I saw her take (and make) so many two-point shots! Maybe there’s hope for her yet. Mikesell is someone I could see really benefitting from this free season. Don’t think she’ll be fully there next year, but could generate some pro interest in year five if she develops further.Can't blame this one on Mikesell. She was pretty good.
They might. Didn’t look at the bracket. In that case, I don’t think they’ll get there. But they do look quite capable of taking down nearly all the conference’s good teams when they’re on.But don't they have to go through Stanford to get to the title game?
They do. They played Stanford tough for 3 quarters last time and then got blown out in the 4th. Not really feeling good about their chances in this one either.But don't they have to go through Stanford to get to the title game?
And I wouldn’t count them out. It’s not like Stanford went undefeated in conference. If they’re good enough to beat everyone else then sure as heck have a chance.They do.

She is not even close to Sabrina. "Hey. Satou shoot the f*@#! ball"Did Sedona Prince sit the entire fourth quarter for attitude reasons? Prince can get chirpy with her own teammates when things don't go well.

I would qualify that both their wins over the Ducks came with Kennedy Brown unavailable...you know, that 6'6", 5 star, McDonald's AA who is injured for Oregon State (who was starting for OSU and playing an important role before she went down...a role that no doubt would have been even bigger this season).I would qualify that both their wins over the Ducks came with Paopao unavailable.
yes..and it was strange that Oregon State had its best and worst quarters of the season both in the same game!Oregon St and that 3rd quarter run...wow!!
The exact opposite argument can be and has been made. Rueck himself has discussed the downsides.Oregon State seems to be one of those teams (Rutgers is the other) that benefitted (is that the correct word?) from an extended COVID pause. They're a completely different team now.
Ironically, this latest win probably gives them a less desirable NCAA seeding, up from a likely 10/11 seed to the dreaded 8/9 hole. They may need to beat one #1 NCAA seed today (Stanford) to avoid having to face another in the 2nd round.However the game turns out, it will be a timely measuring stick for OSU before the BIG DANCE!
