Final score looks that way, but SC had them down 21 in the middle of the 3rd, and Stayley was sitting Cardoso for a long stretch as Indiana crawled back in. In watching that game, it never felt in doubt, even though Indiana made a great run on a hot 3 pt streak. Yes, the final score was closer, but OSU made SC sweat for a lot longer than Indiana did. Talking heads were speculating that Staley wanted to let Indiana back in the game to help tune her team for tougher games (seems ridiculous, but possible). Regardless, OSU was never down by 20+. Additinally, OSU was down 7 with 45 seconds left, if the weren't unsuccesfully fouling for profit, that would have been the final deficit. In watching our game, I never thought the result was in doubt either. But if people want to claim a moral victory….. yeah! Indeed, I do like wearing my orange-tinted glasses.

WCC was a 2-bid league this year. Not sure why you think OSU would have to be an AQ to get in. Not sure if UP would've made the Tournament if they didn't beat Gonzaga in the WCC tournament. Anyone know? But, folks forget. UP isn't OSU or WSU. They both strengthen the WCC and both with 20+ win seasons will get invites.

Never fails that two nonrelated events somehow will make OSU a better team. I guess if we'd been seeded into PDX OSU would have been a F4 team too.... and...

Martha flying to Tempe. Hmmmmm. I assume you mean Martha Pietsch? How, pray tell, would you know that she's flying to Tempe?

Not sure if UP would've made the Tournament if they didn't beat Gonzaga in the WCC tournament. Anyone know? They wouldn’t have, but the post said “you have to win the AQ from that“ which Gonzaga didn’t do but still got in. Fair point. You are correct. They don't always have to get the AQ. I still maintain, however, that the exposure and strength of schedule in the now defunct Pac-12 was superior to the WCC and may, in some cases, help teams to "get over the hump" and get in.

She needs to rethink that! Lol

OSU played South Carolina better than any team thus far in the tournament (yes, including Indiana). And that is why I hope this motivates our players to stay together next season.

I'm just not sure OSU played SC better than Indiana but I think the fact that the Beavers were in the game pretty much until the end (it's pretty easy to get run off the court by SC) is telling when you combine that with the fact that it was in the Elite Eight and the Beavers were coming off a win vs Notre Dame to get there. It's not hard to figure out that the Beavers were a really good team this year and should finish in the top 10 in the poll IMO.

Our players should be motivated by losses? Yep, that will make them stay. 😂 If you’re not first, you’re last.
