South Carolina is beatable

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.

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.
 
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.

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.

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.

The third on Beers is another example of an official calling what she imagined happened out of her view based on player movement and positioning. Women’s basketball is plagued with poor officiating, and at that moment, Beers had one too many fouls.

By the middle of the 3rd quarter, she should have had 3 fouls, and she did. By the 4th, she had less fouls than she deserved.

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.
 
Sad to say LSU is probably the only team left in the tournament that has the players to beat South Carolina.......

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.

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.

Okay, Oregon St. holds almost all of their opponents below their usual FG% and scoring average. Maybe just a tiny bit of credit to the Beavs rather than just SC had a bad game? Or it's an amazing coincidence that almost everybody just has a bad game when they play OSU.

No. Credit is definitely due to OSU if you ask me. They've done this too many times for it to be a coincidence, especially in the conference they played in.

I tweeted, yesterday, that OSU had the best defense we had played this season.

On the flip side, I'll give tons of credit to South Carolina. Their team speed is amazing. I lost track of how many times I thought OSU had a clean look, whether it was a jumper or a drive, and suddenly there was a defender there challenging the shot. And the rebounding of course. I'm sure OSU was trying as hard as they could to keep SC off the offensive glass, but they simply couldn't do it. SC is a very good team and they utilized their advantages yesterday.
