We win 76-54 (13-14 in the 4th qtr) for the program's 1,000th victory. We ended sloppily even before we sent in the scout team, but that was mostly due to burning clock time.
What is more important is that we blew out a top 10 team for the first time this season without one of our best players Lili Thompson.
McCall was a jump-shot machine, I don't remember her scoring from the paint at all this game, with 5 three-point attempts and 3 made. I don't want her to forget her post moves, but if she can pick and choose when to battle it down low and when to shoot the jumper, I think she will have a big rest of the season and her senior year next year might be one that fits in with being the #11 recruit (ESPN Hoopgurlz) in the country.
Karlie got her first double-double of her career with 13 points and 12 rebounds and she didn't miss her only shot until the fourth quarter.
Brit was so forceful and aggressive for 15 points. The only thing concerning was she rolled her left ankle early in the fourth. She played on for a couple more minutes after the next whistle (noticeably slower) and then out for the rest of the game. Hopefully, it's just a minor injury and she'll be good to go for Sunday and the rest of the season.
Kailee's horrific free throw shooting continues (3/8), but she made her impact through the defense. Our poor FT shooting (8/16) was the only bad offensive statistic against a very good Oregon State defense, in which we shot 57.7% from the field and 57.1% from 3-pt range.
Our defense also deserves recognition. Though Hamblin had 14 points on 7/11 shooting, we held the Beavers' 3 main guards Weisner, Wiese and Hanson to a collective five made field goals on 5/26 shooting (19.2%). The Beavers shot 34.4%, but only 5/20 from 3-pt range.
