MSU women's basketball upsets #3 Oregon, in a sport where the top handful of teams are usually substantially better than the field.

This was one of the most amazing coaching performances I've ever seen in any sport.  This team didn't even score a single goal until late in the fifth game against West Virginia.  Yet by the end of the season they were first in the B1G in goals scored.  As Coach Cirovski tweaked the lineup and strategy, they started 4-5-1 and then went 9-1-1 with zero goals allowed in the NCAA tournament.

MSU keeps beating ranked teams at home, some of them soundly, and losing on the road to bad teams.  Considering home court "advantage" in women's basketball you wouldn't expect to see that wide of a dichotomy.

And blew out #9 Maryland at home tonight, right in line.  I think they are 4-0 at home against ranked teams, all top 15 at the time, I think all by comfortable margins.
But they are 0-3 in conference road games, all against unranked teams.
