I was at the UCLA game last year at Pauley. Stanford had a 2 point lead in a close back-and-forth game after 3 quarters. Then UCLA went cold as ice and did not score for 8 minutes in the 4th quarter allowing Stanford to pull away.
UCLA perimeter shooting can be very streaky. Osborne was 4-18 in the LA game last year. Londynn Jones was 2-8. Rice was 1-6. But they try to make up for offensive shortcomings with relentless effort on the offensive boards. Obviously Betts makes a big difference there. Even with her out of the game vs. WSU, UCLA had 15 offensive rebounds. Stanford is going to have to match UCLA's intensity.
