UCLA turned the ball, made just two threes and still got the win
The UCLA Bruins played one of their sloppier games of the season but they were still able to get the Elite Eight win over the Duke Blue Devils.
For the second time in two years, the UCLA Bruins are headed back to the Final Four. UCLA is hoping for a better outcome this time around but for now, UCLA will appreciate their Elite Eight win over the Duke Blue Devils on Sunday . UCLA's season was in major jeopardy There were certainly moments during Sunday’s game where it looked as if it’d be UCLA’s season finale.
Duke led by as much as 10 points but the Bruins found their rhythm in the second half, as the Bruins size bothered the Blue Devils on both sides of the court. Not a clean performance from the Bruins UCLA will let out a sigh of relief following the win over Duke. The Bruins turned the ball over a whopping 18 times and made just two of their 14 attempts from three.
UCLA’s struggles from three were hardly noticeable, as Duke fared even worse deep, going 1-13 from three themselves. Too big to fail While the Bruins offense can get out of sync at times, UCLA’s size always keeps them in ballgames. Lauren Betts was terrifc once again but Angela Dugalic came up huge off the bench, providing 15 points and six rebounds.
Even Sienna Betts made an impact in limited minutes, scoring four points in seven minutes and showing some nice touch down low. Angela-Dugalic. mp4 pic.
