South Carolina women’s basketball is headed back to the Final Four following a 70-58 win over Oregon State. This will be their fourth straight Final Four. Oregon State had the youngest team in the country. A lot of predictions were for them to finish 10th in their conference and yet they made it to the Elite 8. Fans of the Beavers are proud and angry at the same time.

They seem to believe that the referees favored Dawn Staley and Co. throughout the game. One fan wrote, “If I’m Rueck, I would have gotten a technical right now. The officiating favoring South Carolina is disgusting on every level.”

Another one questioned why would the N0.1 team need the help of the officials to beat the Beavers.

Implying the referees were blind was a recurring theme and one fan wrote how South Carolina was the over-aggressive team and yet they weren’t punished.

Betting on South Carolina to win, that’s what one fan’s theory was

Using Shaq as a meme template and calling out referees to think OSU fans are fools was a sentiment shared by one fan

The performance of Beavers throughout the tournament was special. They were picked 10th in the preseason poll in the last year for the Pac-12, yet finished fourth, upsetting No. 2 seed Notre Dame on Friday to make the Elite Eight.

It is the sixth Final Four for Dawn Staley, being champions twice during the 16-17 and 21-22 seasons. Do you think OSU lost due to harsh calls by referees or the Gamecocks were better?
