Two overtime wins: over No. 14 UCLA, 71-66, and USC, 81-75 — the latter taking two extra periods.It was the Wildcats' first sweep of the Los Angeles schools in L.A. since 2002.
Stanford is up next, coming into McKale Center on Thursday for a game televised on ESPN. The Cardinal always present a difficult challenge and will be especially tough after they lost to Washington 72-67 Sunday. As of late, Reese has really come alive in the third and fourth quarters — wearing down and then overpowering the opposition. She's been the Reese of old.
“She wasn’t afraid,” UA coach Adia Barnes said, “didn’t care that she was getting her shots blocked and kept on taking it to them — and taking it to them through a lot of contact. … It was physical, and I think just completely dominated and was motivated and determined.”Earlier in the week, Reese was asked how her shoulder is feeling after dislocating it last February, having surgery in the offseason and going through rehab.Reese definitely didn’t feel it over the weekend.
She hit a jumper just inside the 3-point line to tie it up, sending the game into the second overtime. She finished with seven points, none bigger than those two.“ showed composure and didn’t play like a freshman,” Barnes said. “ difficult for a freshman that hasn't gotten a tremendous number of opportunities, when the senior is in foul trouble, to come in and hit a big shot to tie the game.
