The Bruins were certainly unbeatable today (understatement). DD mentioned it but I am compelled to bring it up again. I love how the Bruin bench contributes. Today: Lil' Sienna Betts 19 minutes, 14 points (7-8), 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block shot....Angela Dugalic 22 minutes, 7 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block shot....Lena Bilic 10 minutes, 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals. This is a great example of effort.
Very impressive performance, especially for a conference tournament final game. Congratulations to HC Close and the Lady Bruins for a perfect Big-10 season and extending their current winning streak to 25. Keep it going!
Great game by the Bruins! I feel they still get overlooked a lot because there’s so much focus on star players and stats in WBB. My favourite stats from this game - 34 Assists and 6 players in double digit scoring. This team seems so much better than last year in their mentality - they look relaxed and like they’re having fun. Last year they seemed burdened by the weight of expectations. The tourney is always tough and I don’t really want to have expectations beyond elite eight or so, but whatever happens this is a special team full of winners and great representatives for UCLA.
That's pretty much what Coach Close said after the game. Last year she pushed too hard and was kind of mean to the team. This year she realized they were mature enough to understand what was at stake. She placed more emphasis on the team having fun.
Wonderful write-up DD
If I had one word to describe this Team and this victory, it would be:
Woodenesque
I am certain Coach is smiling
💙💛💙💛
Having watched Wooden teams in person as a student—you are totally right. I felt that strong Wooden influence—on and off the court.
