Tied 56-56 after 3 quarters.  Kaitlyn Chen, a senior point guard from California, is amazing.  She has 17 points through 3.  Did we recruit her?

So much fun to watch Princeton, which actually runs the Princeton!  Betts is keeping UCLA in it just because she can receive lobs over the undersized Princeton players down low.

Princeton has tied it up repeatedly in the fourth, and even led by two, but with under a minute they are now behind by 4.  Osborne has been driving to the basket and picking up fouls to move UCLA ahead.

12 fouls called in the last 3 minutes of the game. Yes, 12. Only 1 was intentional. Many of them, I'd say 5 or 6, could have been no calls. Especially in womens basketball, the refs have to let them play. It ruins the flow. Just like in any sport, the refs' job is to administer a fair game, not to look for technicalities. They seem to be infatuated with the moving screen call. They called 3 moving screen violations in a 90 second span at the end of the game. On every one of them, the defender fell down, begging for the call. The announcers even said the screeners have to learn to fall down too to counteract the defender falling (great, that would really enhance play. Not.) In the Stanford game yesterday, the defender ran into Cam's hip and just fell down and they called a moving screen foul on Cam. She was just standing there. Even if it can be debated if the screener "slightly moved", what's the point? 

That said, Princeton played great. Tons of talent on UCLA, but jury is still out.
