Tied 48-48.
We have been down 10+ most of the game. No legs. Some really "interesting" calls for most of the game.

WBB vs. UCLA

With 2 seconds and at the line down 2 CL-W misses the second on purpose and KL-W finds the ball and puts it in to go to OT! Wow!!!
Down 63-68. We ran out of gas today and their PG Osborn didn't miss a shot in OT. Another gritty comeback down 13 at the start of the 4th quarter. Legs got to us today early and late.
Lot of difference. Last year (actually forever!) we were losing these games by 20+. Colorado dumped #1 Stanford in OT.
We really had no business getting this game to OT. You could tell from the start we just didn't have the same energy and UCLA was much fresher with only 1 game this week. We just kept coming back. Agree, in years past this would have been a 20+ loss.
We need to get the starters more rest. Even getting the Leger-Walker sisters and Ula down to 30-32 minutes would help. Some good signs though. Bella continues to show progress. Needs to figure out the fouls but she's finishing more consistently. Molina and Nankervis are showing signs of consistent play giving us some real depth. Sarver's been hit and miss.
If we can find a legit 8 we will start to win more of these games.

Looks like free throws once again bit the Cougs.....this time the women. WSU 6-13 at the line, UCLA 18-23. Getting tired and legs wearing down often results in missed free throws. Great effort, though. This WSU Women's team is one to be proud of.

Agree as usual, Save, but I will point out that we did not have a legit 5 pretty recently. We don't have a legit 8 at the moment, but we are to a point where we can sub out people without damaging ourselves too badly on D...we mostly cut down on our offensive ability. If we had 2 more solid 2-way players...ideally one forecourt and one backcourt...we would be a lot more resilient.
Still, two OT games on a Los Angeles trip is in a different galaxy than most of the last 50 years.
I think it's a bit of both. The last 3 games though we are winning the 4th quarter by an average of 18-9. UA and UCLA only managed to score 7 and 5 respectively.
