LIVE BLOG: Corvallis Regional Round Three With No. 4 Florida, No. 5 Denver, No. 12 Boise State and No. 15 Oregon State

Last. Regional. Are you doing okay?

We’ve had a radically upset-light weekend, though there have been plenty of scares. This meet might pan out the same way. Oregon State is more than capable of beating the sloppy Denver we saw yesterday, but that doesn’t mean that either the Beavers will hold their nerve or that Denver won’t turn it on. We’ll have to see.
