With less than 20 seconds left in regulation, it looked like the Beavers were headed for a second straight loss to a much lower seed. 13th seed Boise State was up by 4, and Oregon State had few chances remaining. But the Beavers gritted out a tough pair of final possessions, tieing things up right before the 4th quarter ended. In overtime, they took control, and got a 80-75 win to advance to the second round, where they’ll take on 5th seed Gonzaga.
The Beavers actually started strong today. Mikayla Pivec and Destiny Slocum provided scoring and assists to get the Beavers a six point lead at the end of the first.
