Just left. Great crowd. Hope 6 PAC12 teams make the sweet 16. CU upset KSU, Stanford later tonite, & USC/UCLA/Utah tomorrow.. Go Beavs.

I agree that it was not their best game. There's plenty of things to clean up before the next round.

The more I watch Talia von Oelhoffen play, the more I love her grit and tenacity on the court. She is very aggressive and won't back down. When she was double teamed in the backcourt and she broke through it (knocking one opponent to the floor), that's what I'm talking about!!!! Also, Timea Gardiner is killer on threes!! Coach Rueck will have them ready! GO BEAVS!!!!!

Hoping they're just resting Beers ankle, saving her the next game. They're going to need her big time in Akron. From here on out though, they're playing with house money. Anything after the win today is just gravy. Back in the sweet 16 without a senior on the roster. Awesome job ladies!

John,

Really enjoying your and your photographer’s coverage of the tournaments. The Beaver women are fun to watch. A great win in front of a home crowd.

Whew. Good defense and a couple of scoring runs were enough to win it. Not their best game offensively but a good win!

Congrats Beaver women! This post by John brought back a memory: in my college years I stayed in the Corvallis area during the summers. A bunch of us who liked to ball (I was a decent intramural player, certainly not Div 1 skilled) would go over to Gill on a summer afternoon and scrimmage with the women who were practicing. Our skills were comparable since college basketball was a new sport for women in 1980. I guarantee I could not play with these 20 year old women if I were that age today. They are very talented and have 3 ball range I never had.

It's good to win when you don't play your best (15 total points by both teams in 3Q!).

Also really liked the crowd pics by Tim Healy...especially given some love to the Nebraska folks and Lil Red:) You do a good job picking your photographers JC!
