Looked more like geese on that play.

The USC game worries me.

I can't even find a decent Oregon board to see their reactions :(

Damn.  These women are tough.  They withstood every challenge thrown at them but anyone just looking at the final score will think it was an easy win and it was far from that.

Quarterfinal matchup tomorrow vs #1 seed USC at noon.

[LamarCheeks]

What a great win. 

Tons of adversity, but we prevailed. 

Actually think the refs gave us a beneficial whistle during the final few minutes -- because man, they were brutal for most of the game.

Because they're 15 points better than us? No worries accepting reality.

We are playing with house money. Lose to USC by a fairly large amount and get ready for the NCAA tourney.

Cieski just admitted that she hasn't seen "Hoosiers." 

I'm speechless! 

C'mon Shay -- get with the program. Might need to send her up the Monon Line!

8 fouls in 30 mins - if it was against UCLA Betts? That I could see but Oregons frontline? Not buying we had 8 fouls in that time

Meaning I'm calling Baloney (on the refs) on Strip and Lily having 4 each - total the 2 played 30 minutes (and probably subtract 5 from that cause Strip played with 4 for a good 5 minutes) so the ref gave them 4 fouls each for 15 minutes each. Saying it felt very lopsided first 3 quarters (4 quarter it leaned our way imho)

Oh the 4th absolutely did.  But yeah, i agree with you. 

A hard screen is not a foul.

I went to the game today.  I could not believe the impact of Faith Wiseman's offensive rebound and Garzon's resultant long bomb 3.
Oregon had come back to be only 7 down, and we looked flummoxed.  When Faith did her thing, and so did Garzon, the place went nuts.  Indiana fans WANT Faith to succeed.
I was so happy for her, and have to wonder why she didn't get to play more earlier in the season.
Below is a great article in the Indy Star pretty much dedicated to Faith.

Losing to USC by a fairly large amount would be preferable to how our last 3 BTT losses went. Not that I'm hoping for that, of course, but our exits from this event the past 3 years were painful.
