A star player coming out of the game early is never ideal.
But when senior center Lauren Betts picked up her third foul on a technical call with 90 seconds remaining in the first quarter, coach Cori Close made the decision to sit her for the rest of the half.

“Kamikazes” are often only mentioned when discussing World War II.
But the term has a different association in Eugene.
The “Kamikaze Kids” characterized Oregon men’s basketball from 1972 to 1977, defined by the team’s full-court pressure and relentless hustle.
Yet, it was UCLA men’s basketball (15-6, 7-3 Big Ten) that embraced this defensive tenacity in its 73-57 victory against Oregon (8-13, 1-9) at Eugene’s Matthew Knight Arena on Wednesday night.
The Bruins’ defense limited the Ducks to a 35.6 field goal percentage and a 28.1% 3-point clip, while forcing 10 turnovers.
Coach Mick Cronin’s team has elicited the third-most turnovers in the Big Ten this season, forcing 13.2 per game, and UCLA has scored the second-most points off turnovers in the conference.
But turnovers are not the only measure of a team’s grit.

The concept is not new. We’ve been weeded out, rewarded and punished since we were children.
