UCLA (7) @ Southern California - 1/17/20

Who will win this game?

  • Total voters
    13
  • Poll closed .
Chou drilled a 3 to force another OT. This is the first time I've heard her name called.
 
Whoa. Natalie Chou with the buzzer beater 3 to send it to 2OT!

Great shot by her, but how does USC just leave her wide open?

Looked like it was set up well. Dean driving, they had a screen to free up Chou.
 
Okay, not much excuse for leaving Chou wide open on that one. 64-59 UCLA.
 
UCLA was up 66-60 and looking good. Now 5 straight by USC. Back and forth we go.

7-0 run by USC. Both teams have blown it so many times when they were totally in control.
 
UCLA broke the streak, but Pili answers w/ and-1. 70-68 w/ 27 sec. left.
 
Overbeck bricks a pair of FTs. Same score still.

Really a terrible loss for UCLA. Even without Onyenwere, you just can't lose to a team as bad as USC
 
I used to go to every USC game from 10-14.
Feels good to beat the Ruins and although a lot of the fans were in Blue tonite, send em home crying.

And then there were NONE.
 
The Pac-12 front-runners are killing their #1 seed chances with soft losses:
Stanford to Texas
OSU and Oregon to ASU
UCLA to USC

There was a Stephanie Watts sighting post game. I wonder if she would qualify or would want a 6th year of eligibility

I'm sure the USC fans can give some tips on crying, since they've been so pathetic in recent years.

What USC fans? It was parents, relatives and a few fans.
USC once played UCSB in the WNIT. Attendance was 250 and UCSB brought 2 bus loads of fans, otherwise there would have been 100 there for a Tournament game. Just beat the Ruins and that may have saved Trakhs job.
 
Bruins fans starting to sound like UConn fans after the last two games, and UConn won those games.

Doom and Gloom at BRO Sports.

You think his job was in jeopardy this season? I doubt it.
 
Woke up this morning shocked to see UCLA lost to USC in double OT. Didn't see that coming. Didn't know how good UCLA was, guess we found out tonight.

I'm not certain the Oregon school losses to ASU would be considered soft. When the season is over and we look back we may have a different view of the Sun Devils.

Clearly this is what happens with parity. Even if the top teams in the conference of champions enter the big dance on the number two line instead of the number one that shouldn't be any roadblock on the road to the final four. The block will be the quality of the other teams in the top eight.

This LA Times article describes that parity. Interestingly the coaches have a much different view of the Pac-12 Network than the one voiced on the BY.

Resurgent Pac-12 Conference looking for big things in women's basketball

The Pac-12 has become one of the best conferences in women's basketball, in part because of exposure it has received from the Pac-12 Networks.

This observation illustrates the challenge with attendance at women's basketball games.

Unfortunately there are too few games that draw on the level of Oregon-Stanford Thursday night compared to the vast majority of games that draw in the way you described.
 
UCLA didnt have their best player last night. Is a loss that surprising?

What if UConn didnt have Walker the past two games?
