Could be a fun game!

Could be a fun game!

Definitely is so far. Fast paced, back and forth.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA 19-14 after Q1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

27-17 UCLA 6 minutes til halftime. Bruins look quicker and more energetic.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ducks were down as much as 11 or 12, but suddenly heating up and have closed to 32-27. Back to back 3's by Bando and Ionescu. Just under 2 minutes til halftime.

 

[nwhoopfan]

34-32 UCLA at the half. 13-2 run to end the half for UO, this game turned around in a hurry. So I was wrong above, lead had grown to 13 for UCLA.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Close, but lower scoring than I expected.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon's run continues into Q3, have retaken the lead 37-34. Now an 18-2 run spanning to quarters. Momentum has swung BIG TIME in this game. Cazorla continues to impress me.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Close, but lower scoring than I expected.

Yeah, the announcers just reminded us the halftime score of the last meeting between the two teams was 57-41!

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA finally stops the bleeding and grabs the lead back.

 

[Shades]

Canada has an assist:turnover ratio of 0:3 but has taken a team high 11 shots.
Shouldn't there be a little PG-bashing?

She's the Pac 12 career leader in assists, so she might get a little bit of leeway.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not as high scoring as anticipated, but this is an entertaining back and forth game. UCLA up 44-42 2:42 left in Q3, Oregon shooting FTs.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA 51-48 after 3Q. Could be a great finish to this game. UCLA crashing the O boards, that's their winning formula.

 

[nwhoopfan]

56-48 UCLA

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hebard and Billings have pretty much battled each other to a stand still. Trading buckets the last several possessions. 58-52 UCLA w/ 6:05 left, Billings will be shooting FTs. Sabally committed a foul but got the worst end of it, got a knee to the stomach.

 

[nwhoopfan]

62-56 UCLA, last media TO, 4:52 left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jump ball on 3 straight possessions. That's fairly unusual. Both teams competing hard.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Big 3 for Bando. 62-61.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon got a steal and had a chance to retake the lead, but UCLA stole it back on the other end. Bruins by 1, 2:17 left, bench TO.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ionescu has had her pocket picked 2 possessions in a row. Same score.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cazorla gives Oregon a 63-62 lead.

 

[nwhoopfan]

65-62 Oregon. UCLA hasn't scored for 4+ minutes. 17.3 seconds left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dean's 3 at the buzzer is just long. Ducks kinda steal one, but UCLA didn't finish strong. It's hard to beat a good team 3 times in one season, but Oregon did it to UCLA.
