Series History
Friday marks just the 16th meeting between UCLA and Colorado, with the Bruins holding a 10-5 advantage in the series. UCLA has won the last six meetings, including three straight on the road by an average of 20.7 points. In the last meeting, UCLA edged Colorado, 73-67, at Pauley Pavilion behind 20 points and 11 assists by Jordin Canada. The Bruins demolished the Buffs in their last road game on Jan. 14, 2018, coming away with a 93-55 win – the largest win against Colorado in program history. Six players scored in double figures for UCLA, led by Japreece Dean's 21 points, her first 20-point performance as a Bruin. Kennedy Burke added 12 points, five steals and five assists, as well.
UCLA's Last Time Out
UCLA raced to a 30-11 lead over Washington after the first quarter and never looked back, taking down the Huskies 76-60 on Feb. 3 to even the all-time series at 32 games apiece.
For the first time this season, the Bruins had all five starters in double figures, led by redshirt freshman Lindsey Corsaro's 14 points. She also had five assists and four rebounds. Dean added 13 points and seven dimes on 6-for-9 shooting.
37 & Counting
Japreece Dean's current free throw streak stands at 37 in a row, a UCLA women's basketball record. The Austin, Texas, native broke Michelle Greco's record of 32 set in 2002-03, when she connected on her 33rd consecutive make against Washington State on Feb. 1. The all-time Pac-12 record is 44 straight makes, set by Stanford's Bonnie Samuelson in 2014. Dean is the top free throw shooter in the Pac-12 at 89.5 percent (51-for-57).
Onyenwere's Hot Streak
Michaela Onyenwere is enjoying an explosive sophomore campaign, having posted nine 20-plus point games and eight double-doubles. She has scored in double figures in each of the last 10 games and has eclipsed the 25-point mark six times, including a career-high-tying 29 points at No. 18/19 Cal. In Pac-12 play, Onyenwere is averaging 19.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Onyenwere ranks fifth in the Pac-12 in free throw percentage (82.3) and has made 13 3-pointers this season, all of which have come in Pac-12 play (only had one last year).
The Race to 800
With a career-high 17 boards at Arizona on Jan. 27, Lajahna Drummer moved to No. 12 on UCLA's all-time rebounding list. She is currently 23 rebounds away from becoming the ninth player in program history with at least 800 rebounds.
