6th ranked Oregon State, a 2 seed in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament, and the Pac-12 Champions, hammered 14 seed Troy, the winners of the Sun Belt Tournament in today's first round game. Literally.
Ruth "The Canadian Hammer" Hamlin had a double double by early in the second quarter, and when she called it a day almost 3 minutes before the end of the third quarter, had 18 points, 18 rebounds, and 5 blocked shots.
It set the tone for Oregon State's 73-31 blowout win.
The Trojans actually took the first lead of the game, going up 2-0.
