UCLA has kept UConn guard Paige Bueckers to six first-half points – seemingly a recipe for success – but just about everything else has gone wrong for the Bruins.
Huskies guard Azzi Fudd’s 19 points are already her highest since the first round.
The Bruins have 11 more turnovers than the Huskies.
UCLA has 15 rebounds to UConn’s 17 – and only two offensive rebounds.
The Bruins will need more from their players not named “Lauren Betts.” The junior center has half of her team’s points.
