with Lauren on the bench the Bruins got - to use Cori's word - casual about it and Iowa closed the gap to 13. Then with just under 7 minutes to go Close called a TO and after that it was the Kiki Rice & Friends show. Kiki got a quick three then Gabs stole the ball just across midcourse, got to to Angela iirc and she got it back to Kiki for two more. Then Lauren reentered and we started drilling threes and the lead quickly grew back to 20. (Over the #8 team in the country.) And then as with UConn today vs Tennessee, the opponent wore down and that was all she wrote. Cori pulled Lauren, CLW and Gabriela with just under 4 minutes to play.
Final: UCLA
Bruins shot 61-55-100% while the game was still going - to the 2.5 minute mark, Iowa 45%.
