That's your opinion. That's fine. In my opinion Oregon dominated in the second quarter, built a substantial lead and hung on in the second half as Oregon State outscored Oregon and closed to within 7 in the second half.
Why would you insert Winterburn and Giomi who were injured? Yaeger has disk problems in her back.
Following a strong 10-2 start by the Beavers last night, Oregon did dominate the second quarter to push its lead to 16 points by halftime and extended the lead to 21 early in the fourth quarter. The Beavers made a 11-0 run to reduce the margin to 10 with 5:28 left and then cut the deficit to 7 points with 3:38 left in the game, but could get no closer and ended up losing by 12 points.
No mention of an injury to Winterburn in the postgame report. Did I miss that? Both Giomi and Winterburn played for the Ducks in last Sunday's blowout win over Cal. I know that Yeager has recurring back issues, so I didn't expect her to play. I was a bit surprised that Moore didn't play much, but credit the strong play of Chavez for that.
Disagree. I think it's possible 6 PAC12 teams will host...and should. I am also sure the Beavs will be hosting. I think they lose at most 3 more until the PAC12 tourney which will add another loss. I guarantee a 6 loss team which lost only to ranked PAC12 teams, mostly top 5, will be hosting. Also Colorado definitely should be in tne tourney if the committee is objective at all. I also think a PAC12 team will win the WNIT postseason touney, like the Beavers did the preseason WNIT.
Your whole fan base in general goes off at every loss whether it be football, volleyball, softball, mens basketball, womens basketball or soccer. As if every Pac-12 team has some sort of aligned conspiracy with the officials. Do bad calls happen, sure they do but I don't think it is an organized conspiracy between 11 other pac-12 schools and Oregon State. You may very well win on Sunday but unless it goes down to the last call I don't think people will be calling out the refs here.
Remember this headline. They were not complaining then.
This is ESPN hyping the game tomorrow, but also setting up more hype for the Feb 3 match-up near the mothership agaist UConn. Whether Oregon wins or loses tomorrow that want a big audience for that big Monday game.
Oh man, that's the headline they should've been pissed about. Talk about the kiss of death
In 24 hours we'll probably be talking about how well they bounced back. It's very, very hard to beat a good team twice in 3 days. It's a fickle game.
but it still didn't help UConn against Baylor 
Hope that you are correct. OSU could use some confidence going forward. A home win at Gill Coliseum over its in-state rival would help right the ship for the Beavers.In 24 hours we'll probably be talking about how well they bounced back. It's very, very hard to beat a good team twice in 3 days. It's a fickle game.
A lot of UConn fans protested that headline. I was completely fine with it
Yes, agreed. They have a decent W-L record because their nonconference SOS was horribly weak (#273). Currently their only top 100 win is over USC. That won't be enough. They needed that win over Stanford in the worst kind of way. They'll definitely need to score wins over the top 6 in the Pac-12 to get a bid.
Or beat UCLA who they also should have beat 2 weeks back. I hope they get one and upset a ranked PAC12 team since you folks are right they probably need that. Still I see them better than half of the other Power 5 teams that will probably get bids as I look at recent bracketologies.
USC was better than Arizona last year and should ahve made the tourney. They decided not to play the WNIT which Zona ended up winning being the 7th best PAC12 team last year while the 5 who made the NCAA's all got into the sweet 16. That's why I think this year we should get 7 in the tourney.
Better than half? That would mean they're a top 20 team. I don't see them as that.
But that's not how tournament selection works. Each team's resume is judged individually. They don't apportion the bids to conferences as if it were the electoral college.
