Not many basketball teams can win a game without making a single three-point shot.
But for the UCLA Bruins, the game plan was to get the ball into the paint and wear down the Arizona State defense as often as possible.
And that they successfully did.
Behind a dominant post performance, the fourth-seeded Bruins pulled past the fifth-seeded Arizona State Sun Devils 73-69 in the semifinals of the 2019 Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament.
While UCLA attempted only four three-point shots, it managed to convert 52 percent (26-for-50) of its two-point field goals. Overall, the Bruins recorded 40 points in the paint.
