| Boley's the only one hitting threes and Yeager and Chavez are basically negatives when they're on the floor.

| Oregon led 40-18 and have allowed UCLA to go on a 41-18 run. Talk about a lack.of focus. UCLA up 68-64 with 2 mins to go!

| well, Oregon manages to give it away. Some pretty stupido plays down the stretch. Perhaps they are giving up their #1 seed.

| UCLA pulls the upset. Ionescu fouls out in frustration walks off the court with 12 secs to go headed to the lockeroom alone. Not a good sign for a player looking to comeback for another season. Completely walked off and left her team behind to finish the game themselves.

Cory Close haters might have to eat their words. The rejuvenation of the Bruins for the conference season and their resilience today shows a coach that is doing something right.

I wouldn't call myself a Close hater, but would certainly call myself a doubter. She has recruited really good players and has at least done more with them than Gottlieb [little dig] but not as good as I would expect. Onyenwere is definitely a real player and I've always liked Burke. I don't think this is a team that 'ought' to have 10 losses, but still this year was billed as a rebuilding year (even with three seniors starting) and they are somewhat size limited. They are peaking at the right time and seem to have a real fighting attitude.

I was also a doubter but Close seems to be doing much better work without Canada. Almost as if she allowed Canada to do whatever she wanted. Close is now coaching a team and it shows. Very nice job in many games this season with what was considered a diminished lineup.
And did you see Ionescu push her teammate before she stormed off the court? If she's drafted by Las vegas, she'd better get used to losing.

Massey projected an 85-68 win for Oregon, and gave UCLA a 5% chance of getting the win.
I'm a happy Bruin fan tonight.

The reason this team won tonight was because they have 10 losses. All the members of this team were in new roles and had to find their way as a new team without Billings, Canada and Hayes. There were some painful losses including that season opener versus LMU, but because of the strong nonconference, this team got better and perservered and focused on their strengths which are rebounding and defense. They're not a great shooting team and they like size in the post, but they're strong and athletic. It took a while for this team to gel and gain confidence and that comes with time playing together, which we're now seeing.

That's also not a good look if she's looking to be the #1 draft pick. Attitude, attitude, attitude!!!!!!
I wanted to watch this game but an 11:00 PM start time and a REALLY long week at work, just didn't allow for it. I saw the preview of the local news, but didn't see the news! It sucks getting old!

regardless of who has the #1 pick(Vegas, Dallas, someone else), coaches like Laimbeer, Agler, etc. won't put up with a diva attitude from a rookie.

Oregon was only down by 3 when Ionescu pulled her Big Baby act. She didn't pull her team together for some advice before she left or stay on the bench to cheer everyone on the way a leader should but just stomped off to the locker room and threw her water bottle on the ground. There was weird chemistry out there.
In the end, I think USC will be the unlucky team they will take it out on. USC already lost by 40 to them previously.

WOAH! Since Ionescu is the darling of WCBB this year, I'm sure this will be "how competitive she is" to her apologists and the media. I just can't see another player doing this.
Her teammates must be pissed. It's certainly not a good look to WNBA GM's

No, not if the season were to end today. They were up 22 on their home court to a team they had previously beaten by 20.
This loss had nothing to do with Hebard being out.
This is a much worse loss than ND's 5 point loss to NC on NC's court.

I must be the only person that isn't that impressed by her. She's good, but I never thought that she was THAT good. I admit that I haven't seen her play a lot so that could be why. Maybe I just never see her when she's outstanding.

Not exactly sure why everybody is convinced Sabrina's determined to enter the draft. That's a lotta hype she herself hasn't generated. I really doubt she will....but, who knows? Anything's possible.

I feared that same thing too, when I heard Mare on the mic. But surprisingly, I thought she was totally bearable throughout the game.

Apparently you just missed last week's Chennedy Carter debacle. 
Of course, she was ejected. Sabrina self-ejected. To me, dissing her teammates was secondary to the ungraciousness of not facing the Bruins in the handshake line. Not cool.

Ionescu did return for the handshake line. Good for her.
As for jumping to the WNBA, after the injuries to Hebard and Zion Williamson, I can't imagine someone with the opportunity to make six figures or more in a calendar year would give that up for another year of college.
I guess the loss was too much for Ionescu to take. She didn't attend the post game presser. It was Graves and Erin Boley representing.

I would disagree with that statement. And unless Oregon loses on out and if Hebard returns to play in the conference tourney, then I'm guessing they remain a #1. They could go to #2 but it will still be in Portland and if Hebard is back at full strength, I wouldn't want to be the #1 playing them there.
