Meaning of "whooped"
Hi,
Will you define the "whooped" in the sentence below? I have looked it up but the definition didn't fit in the context. The meaning of whoop can include "beat" depending on the context?
"I was in Memphis last year when NC State whooped Georgia fourteen to seven in the Liberty Bowl," she said.
Thank you,
M
