UCLA is gonna have to play like they did against Oregon or USC in the regular season to win this one I think. Scoring in the 50s got them wins against Washington and Arizona in the P12 tourney, it won't get it done tomorrow. I don't think there's any chance of holding Stanford in the 40s like their 2 previous opponents.

I'm just hoping to watch a basketball game and not a rugby scrum.

You came to the wrong place. Most of the games in Vegas have been overly physical w/ refs letting them play. In anther forum I saw a UCLA fan keeping track of how many tackles there were in the game last night, although they didn't break down tackles for loss or yards after contact. And that's kind of humorous seeing a UCLA fan complaining about the other team being too physical; some of their O boards they are famous for are aided by the two handed shoves in the back they get away with a lot.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Pre-empted by wrestling? That should be on ESPNU, this is dumb.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Now they delayed the start time by 10 minutes.

Going to start the game on ESPN News

 

[Blueballer]

Some defense from UCLA would be nice

 

[nwhoopfan]

Only thing I could find is en espanol.

Boo to ESPN. No problems getting us to the start of the ACC and SEC Championship games on time.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

looks like Stanford is trying to make a statement. Where is Fran Belibi?? I thought she was going to change the face of women's basketball. She was on all the preseason awards last season (Im being completely sarcastic hear).

 

[GoCardinal]

Pleasantly surprised with this start, but I won’t complain! Looks like Kiana came to play.

 

[SECbbfan24]

UCLA's offense is a train wreck so far

I think Stanford is balanced and tough! FF team IMO

 

[DaBball]

Onyenwere is really impressive. Incredible athlete with a much improved outside shot.

Definitely! Both sides of the ball have really come on at right time (at the same time).

 

[nwhoopfan]

24-11 thru Q1. ESPN2 is FINALLY showing the game, missed the first 10 minutes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Williams is ballin'

 

[Vowelguy]

Mercy rule.
Stanford making a case that they should be #1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well I don't feel so bad about Oregon St. getting blown out by Stanford. They at least waited until part way thru Q3 before they lost contact. UCLA figured better sooner than later. 33-11 midway thru Q2.

 

[eebmg]

Their offensive rebounding is elite.

 

[nwhoopfan]

After getting an early seat next to Tara, Brink is getting it going in Q2.

 

[Vowelguy]

Is UCLA having a bad night or is Stanford this good?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Their offensive rebounding is elite.

That's supposed to be UCLA's specialty. Getting the tables turned on them.

 

[Lorcan]

Is UCLA having a bad night or is Stanford this good?

I think Stanford has turned it on to the next level since they were able to start practicing at home. Williams in particular, I think benefits from getting into the gym and shooting consistently instead of constantly being on the road.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Is UCLA having a bad night or is Stanford this good?

They weren't exactly great offensively in their 2 previous games. They played teams they were able to get away with it against. Not tonight.

I think Stanford could've/should've been this dominant all season, but they seemed to lose focus frequently. When they are dialed in, they can make mince meat of most teams.
