DALLAS -- She stood on the line with seven seconds left in the game, and a chance to give Oregon State a three-point lead against Baylor. Beavers junior guard Sydney Wiese wasn't thinking about the fact that she'd missed one of two free throws 26 seconds earlier. Nor was she saying to herself, "This is for the Final Four. You absolutely MUST make these."
Instead, the word that went through Wiese's mind was this: driveway.
"I've been saying that to myself throughout the season," Wiese said after the Beavers' 60-57 victory Monday sent the program to its first Women's Final Four.
