Kiki Rice and Charisma Osborne help UCLA overcome the absence of Lauren Betts in the Bruins' 84-55 win over Cal Baptist in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The takeover started with a flurry of shotmaking. Worried about Cal Baptist’s ability to make three-pointers in bunches Saturday at Pauley Pavilion, it was UCLA that opened the game with back-to-back shots from long range. The takeover continued with a blur of highlights immediately after halftime. A Gabriela Jaquez three-pointer was followed by a Charisma Osborne jumper and an Osborne steal leading to a Kiki Rice and-one layup that gave the Bruins a 20-point lead.
Osborne found Rice for a three-pointer on the wing in the final minute but the shot went off the side of the rim. Cal Baptist had no counters, especially from long range. Close had repeatedly reminded her players in practice this week about the Lancers taking 32 three-pointers a game and what successfully defending that would entail. Message received. Cal Baptist made only four of 21 three-pointers in falling behind by as many as 29 points.
