Defending Juju will be a challenge. She’s a scoring machine. She dropped 28 on us the first time. Rest of their team scored 28 together between 4 players. I believe she was 11 for 33 in doing that.

This is an interesting conversation which reflects an issue that is still alive in many universities. I thought I recalled an earlier conversation about this on this site which concluded that the name depends on the official designation by the University. At Oregon State the women's teams are simply the Beavers, exactly the same as the men's teams. What individual fans choose to call them is another question, and mostly what this thread is about. But the official name of the women's basketball team--and every other team in women's sports--is the Beavers. I did some digging on this and there are several teams that use a different name from the men's teams. Those that include "Lady" are mostly in the south. I could find only one west coast team that uses an alternate name--USC, which sometimes calls its women's teams Women of Troy. Here's a link to an interesting list of these teams. en.everybodywiki.com/List_of_college_sports_teams_in_the_United_States_with_different_nicknames_for_men%27s_and_women%27s_teams#Schools_that_use_the_prefix_%22Lady%22Also, the matter has been quite controversial at Tennessee. The school abolished Lady Vols in 2014 for its women's teams, but restored the name in 2017 after quite a bit of turmoil over the change. Here's an article about that. www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/20704564/tennessee-brings-back-lady-volunteers-nameYou will be relieved to know that the women's teams at the University of South Carolina are simply the Gamecocks, not the Lady Cocks. You are right, we’ve hashed this out before. They’re the Beavers. Not the Lady Beavers. That kind of designation belongs in 1950’s or earlier…or in the Southeastern USA.
