The odds were stacked against the Lady Broncos on Saturday afternoon. They got a lower seed than expected, were forced to play a true road game, and had to deal with some questionable officiating.
The Broncos had a 66-62 lead with 17 seconds left in regulation. After an Oregon State layup, the Broncos inbounded the ball to Braydey Hodgins. Hodgins was pushed to the floor, and the refs called a jump ball while the ball was between Hodgins legs. Oregon State responded with a great inbound play that resulted in a Boise State foul. After the Beavers connected on both free throws, Marta Hermida missed a solid look that would have won the game.
