Kiki came out really strong, scored or assisted on our first 8 points of the quarter. Then Jones hit a couple threes. Much more better/
Note - Barker first sub in was waiting to enter game before four minutes passed. Close's substitution pattern is to give everyone a blow after a few minutes then bring them back the exception being Betts when she is rolling and as critical as she is in this matchup.
One of the differences after 5 minutes of Q three was UCLA was 4-7 from three now and Mississippi was 1-8
And by the way, Aarnisalo cannot guard Scott and Mississippi has realized that now. There was a great save by Jones and she hit a two pointer off it - great play.
Bruins up to 12 TOs - Mississippi good at creating them but most of ours have been weak passes or not smart moves
UCLA 55, Mississippi 44 - Mississippi had a good stop and score to end the half; they are shooting better now.
Betts now with 24 points, 8 RBs, 2 assts, 3 blocks
Rice has 2 RBs, 4 assts
Jones has 8 points
Dugalic has 5 pts, 5 RBs, 1 block
Bruins shooting 58%, 50% from 3 and 87.5% FTs
