"Instead, the Bruins played with the intensity and focus characteristic of an NCAA Tournament game, dominating from start to finish in a 96-48 triumph Wednesday night at Pauley Pavilion. The third-ranked Bruins ( 18-1 overall, 8-0 in Big Ten) won for the 12th straight time and are more than halfway to tying the program record of 23 in a row set last year. The 48-point win marked the sixth straight by 18 points or more."
"All five starters scored in double figures. Gabriela Jaquez led the way with 25 points (on 10-of-11 shooting), Lauren Betts had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Kiki Rice and Charlisse Leger-Walker each had 15 and Gianna Kneepkens had 14. The Bruins donned throwback jerseys, an homage to UCLA's 1977-78 AIAW championship squad, and showed why a second national title is a possibility come April if the team continues to perform at its present level."
