Oregon State keeps its cool in upset win over Tennessee
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Unable to sleep as Saturday night edged toward Sunday morning, his standard state of agitation before a big game, Oregon State coach Scott Rueck stumbled across a statistic that made slumber even less likely. Tennessee had played at home 57 times since the NCAA tournament began in 1982. The first flagship of women's basketball was 57-0.
How cool, he thought, for Oregon State to have a chance to do something for the first time. So that was the message he repeated when players woke up and gathered for a shootaround.
