Series History
This marks the 83rd meeting between UCLA and Arizona State, with the Bruins owning a 54-28 advantage. The Bruins have won five straight against the Sun Devils and 13 of the last 16 meetings. Last season, UCLA took down Arizona State 71-63 at Pauley Pavilion in the only meeting between the two teams on Feb. 11, 2018. UCLA shot 50 percent from the field and outscored Arizona State in the paint, 38-22. Lajahna Drummer shot a perfect 7-for-7 en route to a 15-point performance, while Michaela Onyenwere tallied 12 points off the bench.
UCLA's Last Time Out
UCLA dropped a 72-67 heartbreaker to USC on Jan. 20, breaking a five-game winning streak vs. the Women of Troy.
Sophomore Michaela Onyenwere collected her sixth double-double of the year with a team-high 22 points and 12 rebounds, while redshirt freshman Lindsey Corsaro matched a career-high with 15 points.
UCLA almost erased an 11-point second half deficit, getting as close as two down the stretch, but the Bruins couldn't get over the hump.
