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

[nwhoopfan]

Several empty possession for both teams, then Kiana gets a drive just before the end of the quarter. 59-52 UCLA.

 

[DaBball]

Bessoir is impressive for a frosh. Been shooting, rebounding, and defending well.

 

[Argonaut]

This is my first time catching a UCLA game this year and I’m impressed. Bessoir is going to be a FORCE as she develops.

If Azzi had chosen UCLA, dare I say they could have been contenders?

 

[Shades]

Onyenwere looked like a wide receiver on that play.

Tried to find that play. Didn’t have it but I found this one.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford has had several chances to cut this to 3 (or 2). Haven't converted yet, but have yet another chance.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Absolutely awful possession by Stanford. Good D by UCLA though.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Brink just picked up foul #4. She managed to play for quite a while before that whistle.

 

[nwhoopfan]

4 team fouls on UCLA, Card gonna be shooting FTs for a good chunk of the quarter.

61-56 6:24 left.

 

[j66kicker]

Awesome block by Jones on Chou's 3!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Belibi w/ a steal and then threw the ball about 10 feet past Williams and it rolls out of bounds. Not a good night for her. Blew a layup a couple possessions earlier.

 

[nwhoopfan]

4th foul on Belibi. If I'm Tara I put Brink back in, she's played much better in 2nd half than Belibi has.

edit-- Belibi w/ the and-1. As someone noted somewhere else good thing I'm not a coach.

Onyenwere w/ a bucket on the previous possession. 63-58, FT coming up after the final media TO.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Osborne has been quiet for quite a while.

Onyenwere has 12 pts/7 reb but 4-18 shooting, ouch.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jeez Belibi is making me look bad. O board and put back, lead down to 2.

 

[LETTERL]

Wow! 7-0 run for Stanford...tie game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Kiana ties it w/ a jumper. Timeout UCLA.

7-0 run in 1:17.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Onyenwere w/ a bucket late in the shot clock.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Kiana ties it w/ another jumper. 65s w/ 2:06 left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Onyenwere swatted, sticks w/ it, gets fouled by Jones.

edit--hit 1 of 2

 

[nwhoopfan]

Osborne just picked up foul #4, Belibi going to the FT line.

1-2 for her too.

 

[LETTERL]

Osborne fouled on a THREE by Haley Jones.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jones fouled Osborne on a 3. Just brain dead play there.

Hit 2-3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford really does do a lot of 1 on 1, iso. Lexie forced a tough shot and didn't get it.

UCLA up 2 w/ possession, 57 seconds left.


edit--Lexie hasn't scored in the 2nd half

 

[nwhoopfan]

Osborne airballed a 3 but Onyenwere w/ the O board. 7 sec. on the shot clock after a timeout.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Missed a 3 but another O board. That is UCLA in a nutshell.

 

[LETTERL]

Stanford will be able to look at all the offensive rebounds UCLA got; that's lots of second chance opportunities they allowed.
