No. 15 UCLA Falls after Late-Game Rally from No. 1 South Carolina
November 29, 2022 | Women's Basketball
Columbia, S.C. โ The UCLA women's basketball team conceded its first loss of the season to South Carolina on Tuesday evening in a tightly contested matchup with the top-ranked Gamecocks. The No. 15 Bruins are now 7-1 after the 64-73 road loss.
ย
Charisma Osborne (24 pts, 6 reb, 10-11 FT) led all scorers for the sixth time in eight games, surpassing the 20-point mark for the fifth time this year. Kiki Rice added 16 points on 6-for-13 shooting and knocked down 4-of-5 free throws in the game. Emily Bessoir grabbed a team-high eight rebounds in the game and was the third Bruin to reach double figures (10 points, 2-for-7 3FG).
ย
UCLA led the way through a low scoring first half and put up four nearly-identical scoring quarters in Tuesday's game. Osborne knocked down a three from the left wing -- just a stepย in from the spot where she launched a killer three-pointer against Tennessee -- midway through the second quarter to put UCLA up 26-17.
ย
The Bruins led by 10 points with 2:47 remaining in the second quarter but the Gamecocks got a series of paint touches to cut into UCLA's lead. Kiki Rice took a charge in transition (Q2, 1:09) to slow South Carolina's barrage inside, and UCLA carried a 31-27 lead into the break.
ย
South Carolina outscored UCLA by four in the third quarter to tie the ballgame when the third buzzer sounded. The Bruins and Gamecocks were locked at 47-47 with 10 minutes to play.
ย
Late foul trouble left an already shorthanded Bruin squad with even less depth off the bench โ three Bruins fouled out in the fourth quarter trying to contain the oversized bigs in South Carolina. The Gamecocks used their size advantage to outscore UCLA 26-17 in the final period, pulling off the nine-point comeback victory over the Bruins.
ย
UP NEXT: at UC Santa Barbara (Saturday, Dec. 3)
ย
The UCLA Bruins head up to Santa Barbara to take on the Gauchos on Saturday, Dec. 3, at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and to UCLA Digital Radio, with Dave Marcus on play-by-play for the radio feed.
