Last Time Out
UCLA nearly rallied from 15 down before coming up short to then-ranked No. 17 South Florida, 60-56, at the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Senior Japreece Dean paced the Bruins with 17 points, while senior Kennedy Burke and sophomore Michaela Onyenwere added 16 and 10 points, respectively.
The Bruins led 9-6 after one, holding the Bulls without a point until 3:35 mark of the opening frame, before South Florida responded with a 25-9 run in the second quarter to pull away. UCLA made it a one possession game down the stretch but couldn't get over the hump.
At a Glance: Indiana
The sharpshooting Hoosiers improved to 6-0 with an 87-73 triumph over Wake Forest on Wednesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
Indiana scored 50 first-half points and extended its lead to 14 (70-56) in the third quarter after outscoring the Deacs in the frame, 20-13.
Ali Patberg led the way with a career-high 30 points, going 11-for-11 from the charity stripe, while Jaelynn Penn matched a career-high with 25 points, shooting 11-for-19 from the floor.
Indiana ranks second in the Big Ten in field goal percentage (47.2) and fifth in field goal percentage defense (35.3). Patberg leads the Hoosiers with 17.8 points per game, while Brenna Wise scores 14.7 per contest.
The Series
UCLA has won the only meeting between the two teams - a 74-61 decision on March 13, 1975. The two teams squared off in the National Women's Invitational Tournament (NWIT), which was an eight-team, consolation bracket tournament held at the Amarillo Civic Center in Amarillo, Texas. The Bruins ousted the Hoosiers, followed by Mercer (62-50), before falling to Wayland Baptist in the finals by a count of 79-41.
