By the numbers, No. 13 Oregon State and No. 12 Tennessee should be an even matchup Sunday when they meet in the second round of the NCAA Women's Tournament at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tenn.
But there is one number that looms over the sixth-seeded Beavers (24-7), a number as imposing as the mountains of nearby Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge: 57.
That's the number of home games the Lady Vols (25-7) have played in NCAA tournament action. They have won all 57, including 22 during the second round. Number 57 was an emphatic 100-60 rout Friday of Liberty, featuring a 38-point third quarter and a program-record 61.
