I'm kind of stunned by the vote so far, although I also voted for Oregon State. An upset, however, will require a perfect storm of sorts, including (on South Carolina's part) overconfidence and difficulty making baskets from outside and (for the Beavers) lights-out 3-point shooting from players not named Goodman (I'm assuming she will continue her hot streak) and avoiding a bunch of live ball turnovers. The last will be the biggest challenge for Oregon State in my view, and the difference between a close game or victory and getting blown out.

I think it would take pretty much near perfect execution by Oregon State paired with poor shooting from South Carolina to pull off the upset.

Not sure Oregon State has the depth inside or quickness on the perimeter to defeat South Carolina.

I don't expecy or see a blowout by either team. If we win, it will be by no more than 12 after being tighter until the last 4 minutes. If the Beavs win, I would be shocked if it's more than 6.

To stop or slow Boston down, you have to push and hack. That may get the Beavers in foul trouble, but they would be shifting the burden of scoring to our guards. Outside shooting can be our Achilles heel.

I'm quite nervous. OSU is playing with passion and confidence down the stretch.

I am not that stunned by the vote, we do have a lot of OSU acolytes on this board and a large contingent of anti-acolytes of SC! Plus add in the "wishful thinking crowd" and you have the vote totals you see. I am really looking forward to this game, along with all my west coast Beaver fans...

First foul on Taylor Jones 2 1/2 minutes in. If she picks up another OSU is in big trouble.

Cold start for both teams. 6-6 almost 5 minutes in.

Looks like OSU is gonna dare about half of the SC player to shoot 3s.

Jones picks up foul #2. Good grief.

Seen a lot of contact uncalled on the other end.

Mitrovic can't guard Boston. Damn those quick early fouls on Jones.

As much as a lot of things aren't going good for OSU, they are leading 13-12.

14-13 SC thru Q1. Outside of Boston the Gamecocks can't hit the broad side of a barn. Not much going well for OSU so far but SC isn't making them pay for it.

SC getting a ton of O boards, but they can't shoot.

On loose balls, looks like OSU is standing in concrete. No foot speed.
