Don't see OSU much, but when I do, I'm never impressed by their offense or very much by Wiese. |

Games like this make me wish we had more neutral site games. They can say its all about attendance but this is a 2 PM game in Oregon on a work day. What type of attendance do you expect? A neutral site game at 7 PM local time or something would be better. Even if its not, at least TV ratings would be better. Can't imagine many fans can watch a game at 2 PM on a Friday.
Have to believe if this was on a neutral site, LBSU pulls out the massive victory. Need more upsets like that in the women's game but they are so hard to come by when the underdog is playing on the top 4 seeds' home court.

With that performance, did Jody Wynn move into the frontrunner spot for the USC job?

I like the idea neutral sites in general, but don't understand your argument about attendance. Did you see that crowd? They had a large attendance even at 2 o'clock on a work day. And my thought is that if you have 64 teams in, it makes sense for the top four seeds to host the first weekend. It may not be 'fair' to the under seeds, but if teams like LBSU, with weak conferences, really wanted a top seed, then they could have played (and beaten) top teams in the preseason. I think after the first weekend it would be great to have one neutral site for all of the rest of the games but essentially those top 16 teams 'earned' the right to host the first weekend. (I'm just sad my Trees didn't get to host)

I didn't get to see the game so if they had a great crowd at 2 PM then kudos to them. Just figured no matter what the attendance was today, wouldn't you think more would come after the work day? And now a days TV ratings seem to be valued more than in person attendance, I'd think a 2 PM game would get much worse ratings than a game that started between 5-7 PM.
For instance, the MAC football league does not have a single Saturday football game in November. Saturday is THE football day in college football but instead they are playing on weekdays where there is less competition for TV slots and they can play on national TV. Now fewer of their alumni can make weeknight games but I guess now TV means a lot moreso than in person attendance.

I doubt it.
A week ago her team almost blew a 16 point 2nd half lead to UCSB. They held on to win the Big West Tournament by 1 point.
She coaches an aggressive game, and did a great job today. She might be on the list at USC, but I dont think near the top.

Could it be that OSU and the Pac12 are overhyped/overrated? Did the Pac12 teams skew the brackets?

Is it some sort of new west coast thing to call Long Beach State just "Beach"? |
No. Ten years ago, LBSU coaching staff closed their voice mail greetings with "Go Beach!".
