Tennessee’s defense just gave Purdue’s pick and roll fits, forced a bad shot late into the shot clock. But the Vols fouled Zach Edey on the offensive rebound. Six fouls on UT less than seven minutes in.

Dalton Knecht’s on a heater to start. Purdue’s struggling to match up. He has 10 of UT’s first 17 points with the Vols holding a 17-12 lead.

Tennessee has four fouls early. Purdue’s scored all of its points in the paint, gonna keep pressure on this elite UT.

The Beavers finally, mercifully calling a timeout and it may have been too late. The Gamecocks have a 26-4 advantage in second-chance points and their largest lead of the game.

Fast start in Detroit. Purdue’s up 10-9 at the first media timeout. Zach Edey, Dalton Knecht with two buckets each. Edey, as usual, is gonna be a matchup nightmare.

Purdue strikes first with — what else? — a Zach Edey bucket in the post. Dalton Knecht responds with a floater for Tennessee. All-Americans on the board first for both teams.

Here’s that questionable call that gave OSU star Raegan Beers her third foul just before the break.
-
Sun, March 31, 2024 at 1:59 PM EDT
Halftime: South Carolina 37, Oregon State 33
The Beavers are very much alive in this one as we head to the break. They’ll have to navigate Beers’ foul trouble down the stretch now unfortunately.

Raegan Beers just collected her third foul with under a minute left in the second quarter and it was a questionable one. OSU coaching staff isn’t happy about it.

Now it’s Oregon State breaking the press for an easy layup. The Beavers are hanging around in this one as the second quarter winds down.

The Gamecocks have pushed their lead to 9 points now with their own run. Kamilla Cardoso is getting some easy shots from short range and MiLaysia Fulwiley has 6 points off the bench.

Three blocks already by South Carolina’s Ashlyn Watkins, a huge reason the Gamecocks are crushing in paint points, 12-0. It is tough to deal with the length South Carolina puts out there.

End of 1Q: South Carolina 18, Oregon State 14
The Beavers end the quarter on an 8-2 run to cut into South Carolina’s lead.

The Gamecocks have jumped out to a 10-4 lead now after a 3-pointer from Te-Hina Paopao. South Carolina’s defense is swarming.

Checking in from Albany where our first regional champion will be crowned. That brief 2-0 lead for Oregon State was South Carolina’s largest deficit of the tournament.
