#6 UCLA @ #5 Stanford - 1/22/21

[nwhoopfan]

2 fouls on Brink. Nobody for UCLA remotely in foul trouble. 8-3 fouls in UCLA's favor.

 

[LETTERL]

Brink picked up two fouls in a minute.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Q2 has been disastrous for Stanford. They just gotta try to tread water til the 2nd half.

Jeez. Brink picked up foul #3.

35-30 Bruins, 2:49 left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not sure why Tara left Brink in there after foul #2. That was obviously a big mistake. She'd been playing small ball much of the half anyway. Prechtel has no fouls.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lexie and Kiana trying to keep this from totally getting away.

39-34 UCLA.

Onyenwere just picked up foul #2.


If UCLA wins, the top of the Pac 12 would be a big 'ol mess. 4 teams within about a game of each other.


Now Osborne picked up foul #2. Gonna be a battle of attrition. Refs asserting their will.

 

[LETTERL]

Charisma Osborne having herself a game!

 

[nwhoopfan]

41-36 UCLA at the half.

Osborne leading everybody w/ 14. Bessoir has 9, Chou 7.

Lexie and Kiana have 11 each.

Maybe 5 teams?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Interesting stats all around. 8-0 O boards in UCLA's favor, yet 18-6 points in the paint in favor of Stanford. 10-0 2nd chance pts for UCLA and 11-2 bench in favor of the Bruins. 6 3's for UCLA, 2 for Stanford. Card cooling off a bit but still 56% FG to UCLA's 39%. Not much in the way of fast break pts or pts of TOs for either team.

Charisma Osborne having herself a game!

Pretty good for a sophomore.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford going big to start Q3. Prechtel instead of Wilson.

4 quick points for the Card.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Belibi picked up foul #3. That didn't take long.

edit--she earned it, I wasn't complaining about the call

 

[nwhoopfan]

Now Onyenwere w/ #3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jeez, players down all over the floor and Corsaro lost a contact lense. Rough sequence.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford got the lead down to 1 but it's up to 7 now.

 

[Shades]

Kiana Williams looks like she’s gonna get tested for concussion.

 

[nwhoopfan]

49-44 midway thru Q3, Stanford has gained no ground. UCLA ball after the break.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Kiana Williams looks like she’s gonna get tested for concussion.

She caught all of that elbow from Bessoir. It was inadvertent.

 

[nwhoopfan]

It just looks like Osborne is going to will them to a victory. She has 18. She got stymied in the first game against Stanford but she's making up for it tonight.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Kiana is back on the floor.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA stretches the lead to 11. Stanford is in serious trouble. 21 for Osborne.

 

[LETTERL]

Osborne is unconscious!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Maybe Brink will finally get going. Kept a ball alive that led to an offensive rebound, got a bucket, then forced a turnover, all in about 30 seconds. And then another bucket.

edit--then an O board and got fouled on the putback

She had no impact in the first half, but the last 90 seconds or so she's been all over the place.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Couple chances to cut it 7 but they couldn't convert, now Onyenwere shooting FTs to get it back to double digits.

 

[Shades]

Onyenwere looked like a wide receiver on that play.
