Was worried as UCLA scored 18 in the first quarter and WSU wins with their defense. They clamped down and looked good toward the end of the first half.
 
We apparently hit "post" at exactly the same time......
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Great minds and all. I waited for someone else to post, nobody did so I thought I would put something up quick. Looks like you thought the same thing.
 
Women’s WSU basketball has come a long since the early to mid 80’s when I was there. Win, lose or draw, I am proud of the ladies and am happy for their success!
 
Reason WSU does not have a big lead instead of a 4 point lead, is UCLA OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS, tho overall rebounding numbers about the same.

UCLA is shooting 35%.

So WSU is playing pretty good defense in having 4 point lead.

WSU needs to do better on boards, and maintain good Defense, and if UCLA continues at 35%, then WSU wins, as long as WSU doesn't go cold shooting wise.
 
UCLA had 7 1st quarter offensive boards. We cut that to 3 in the 2nd quarter. We were slightly better on turnovers 1st to 2nd (4 vs. 3). Shooting well especially from 3 at 55% for the game, but 3 of 4 in the 2nd quarter.

CL-W and Bella having good offensive games. Teder with 5 on limited shots as well. Clarke has been just off. I still think when she gets an open elbow it should go up almost all the time.

Don't forget turnovers. WSU has 7, UCLA 2. They need to take better care of the ball. Both teams have 17 rebounds at the half.

True, but 7 turnovers is semi ok, not terribad, and UCLA hasn't scored a lot on those turnovers, while have scored more after a offensive rebound
 
Hopefully, the Cougars have settled down. UCLA turned up the heat coming out of the half, and WSU had three straight turnovers. That three from CL-W was big.

Also half of those WSU turnovers were desperation airballs that caused shot clock violations due to good UCLA defense.

most were not shoot yourself in foot turnovers.
 
C'mon Cougs. Gut it out.

And I guess Shania didn't show up? Love Tuhina's (sp?) aunt coming from Kosovo to surprise her.
Yup, gut out time. We have pretty much gone with 5 players the 2nd half with Ula out.

Bigtime free throws from Bella! Best offensive game and maybe game period of her career.
 
STINKY REFS. THAT WAS A SLIP NOT A FOUL TV ANNOUNCERS AGREE, BACK UP BY REPLAY.

REFS GOT TO TRY GET UCLA THE SEMI BLUE BLOOD THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

WSU HAS TO BEAT THE REFS AND UCLA.
 
It's 6 on 5 as usual for the SoCal schools. Guess the Pac 10 wants to send them out with a sloppy kiss if we can.
 
That steal was clean by CLW. Shouldn’t have been a jump ball call.

F’ing Pac 12 refs. Same as it ever was

That's pretty much game with WSU 4 point lead, 5 seconds left.

FOUL. don't even let a 4 point play.
 
Wow, so amazing! Great run, keep it going. If we aren't at least a 6-seed, I don't know what.
