No. 2 Stanford leans on its superior shooting to pull away in the second half of a 72-59 victory over No. 8 UCLA.
The Bruins have a star in
UCLA was scoreless the first 8:04 of the fourth quarter, missing 11 consecutive shots. Stanford center Cameron Brink blocked five of them and seven overall. The Bruins continually drove into the lane and let shots fly, only to have Brink swat them away. But how about simply making a few more mid-range and three-point shots? Nothing ends a scoring drought like a clean swish.
“Lina [Sontag], Londynn [Jones], Kiki Rice, Gabriela Jaquez, longterm they are going to be great shooters,” Close said. “They are learning they have to get their feet set quicker. They are learning how to set screens better, because they can’t just separate like they did in high school. It’s a learning curve.”
Osborne also was cold, making two of 10 shots in the first half. The baskets came back-to-back from three-point range less than three minutes into the second quarter, pushing UCLA ahead 25-20. Points became scarce from there, however. A three-pointer by Jaquez with 2:36 to play in the half was the Bruins’ only basket from the field in the last seven minutes of the half.
