This is a BQD half
This game is definitely comign down to some final-minute chaos
Mila Hollowayβs and-one in transition gives Michigan its first lead of the game, and the Wolverines have a ton of momentum. Their fans are outnumbered here but they are making plenty of noise
Michigan is dominating the offensive glass to start this half

Hey guys, Syla's here
END Q1 - Iowa 13, Michigan 4
Seeing a repeat of last matchup where Iowa has completely taken over the paint on both sides. Doesn't help when Michigan is 0-7 from deep
not great!
maybe
Didn't think I'd say this, but Michigan is missing Yulia Grabovskaia right now
No. 5 seed Ohio State failed to build a strong enough run to overcome No. 1 UCLA, and was eliminated in the Big Ten Tournament's semifinals.

UCLA:
Rice - 17 pts, 8 reb
Betts - 14 pts, 9 reb, 4 ast
DugaliΔ - 14 pts, 6 reb, 4 ast
OSU:
Gray - 23 pts
J. Cambridge - 12 pts, 5 ast, 4 reb
LemmilΓ€ - 10 pts, 6 reb, 6 ast
FINAL SCORE: #1 UCLA 72, #4 OSU 62
Wire-to-wire win for the Bruins. They're just a really, really good team.
OSU may have moved up to the 3-line this week, and this doesn't change that.
UCLA faces the winner of Iowa-Michigan, coming up next!
Last year I left this tournament with very little optimism about Ohio Stateβs NCAA Tournament hopes
Complete opposite feel with a (probable) loss like this, Buckeyes have battled the whole way, UCLA is just UCLA
Second half summary:
The fans voted for Opalite to play on the speakers during media timeout, but DJ Tat went for a heavy mix-in of "Feel So Close", which is certainly a choice
Chance Gray is really trying to claw Ohio State back into this game. Not getting a ton of help on offense. Is there enough time for them to make it happen?
Ohio State has left Kneepkens with space too many times, and normally she'd be making them pay even more than she currently is
END Q3 - UCLA 52, OSU 40
Some more offense by the Buckeyes that quarter. But they're still losing too many turnovers and UCLA is just too good on offense
A young Michigan team honored their seniors after moving onto the Big Ten Tournament semifinals and Syla Swords described the vibe of her βsing-songyβ team and how they bond through fishing of all things π£

Oh, this is a game that deserves way better than B1G+

HALFTIME - UCLA 32, OSU 21
Bruins have felt like a team in full control of this game since the tip, probably more even than the scoreboard shows. Ohio State needs to make a big adjustment to get back in this game, but they're not out of it yet.
Ava Watson airballs a jumper and then OSU leaves Kneepkens open for a triple. 11-point UCLA lead again
Elsa has really shown up today
