Message: [QUOTE="jake0414, post: 4430550, member: 10619"] Onyenwere joined the Bruins in 2017/18 for Canada, Billings and Hayes’s senior season and was a role player her freshman year. Can add junior Kennedy Burke too. That team lost to Mississippi State in the elite eight. MSU advanced to the 2018 Championship Game losing to Notre Dame in the Championship game where Ogunbowale seemingly fouled Morgan William on a late steal attempt but didn’t get the benefit of a call. Arike hit the game winning thre point shot as time expired. Onyenwere became a breakout star for the Bruins the following year. That 2018/2019 Bruin team started slow but jelled as the season progressed. It defeated Ionescu’s Oregon Duck team in Eugene. Admittedly the Ducks didn’t have Hebard for that game. The #6 seed Bruins beat Evina Westbrook’s Tennessee in the ncaa opening round and #3 seed Maryland in College Park in the round of 32. Unfortunately UCLA got paired with UConn in the sweet sixteen, took a one point lead into the 4th quarter before losing 69-61. I think the Bruins would have made the elite eight and perhaps the final four had it not been paired with the Huskies. They were playing that well. [/QUOTE]
