SERIES HISTORY VS. STANFORD
This is the 85th meeting between Stanford and UCLA with the Cardinal holding a 60-24 lead in the series. UCLA has ended long droughts to the Cardinal in each of the last two seasons, which only featured one encounter. In 2016, UCLA snapped a 21-game losing streak to the Cardinal (Jan. 24), posting a 56-36 win in Los Angeles. Then last year on Feb. 6, No. 15 UCLA upset No. 8 Stanford in Maples, 85-76, putting an end to a 15-game road losing streak to ranked teams in the process while earning its first win at Stanford (had lost 16 in a row) since 1999. Brittany McPhee scored 12 of her 26 points in the fourth quarter to help Stanford to a 76-65 upset of No. 11 UCLA on Dec. 29, 2017 in this year's Pac-12 Conference opener.
MAKING HISTORY
UCLA's Jordin Canada became the first woman in Pac-12 history to score 1,800 points and dish out 700 assists (UCLA record) last week at Utah and Colorado (Jan. 12 & 14). She is in exclusive company in all of Pac-12 basketball as well, joining Gary Payton (2,172 points, 938 assists, Oregon State, 1987-90) on the men's side as the only two players to accomplish the feat. She currently ranks 30th all-time in the Pac-12 in career points (1,823). Canada also ranks third all-time in Pac-12 history in career assists (703). Threatening the career assists mark that has stood since 1990-91, she needs just 54 more to match the record. She also ranks fifth in Pac-12 history with 297 steals. Teammate Monique Billings entered the top 25 in Pac-12 history in career rebounds and her 996 rebounds put her 21st all-time. She is looking to become just the 21st player in Conference history with 1,000 rebounds.
