INDIANAPOLIS — UCLA, in its second year in the Big Ten, will be playing for the conference tournament crown for the second straight season.
Top-seeded UCLA took down No. 5 Ohio State, 72-62, on Saturday afternoon at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to punch its ticket. The Bruins will play the winner of No. 2 Iowa and No. 3 Michigan in the championship game Sunday.
While UCLA led the entire game, Ohio State didn't back down quietly. After a 12-3 run by the Bruins to start the game, the Buckeyes held them to two points for the rest of the first quarter to fight their way back into the game. Ohio State couldn't keep up the momentum in the second quarter, however, as it shot just 27% from the field from the first half while UCLA shot 44%.
Ohio State stayed within single digits for most of the second half, cutting the deficit to seven points with 48 seconds left, but it wasn't enough.
Chance Gray was the catalyst for Ohio State, finishing with 23 points. Jaloni Cambridge has 12 and Elsa Lemmila had 10.
UCLA had a balance offensive attack with five players in double figures: Kiki Rice had 17, Angela Dugalic and Lauren Betts had 14, Gianna Kneepkens had 13, and Gabriela Jaquez had 10.
