The UCLA women’s basketball team had a tough road game against No. 11 Oregon State on Friday night.
Unfortunately, the Bruins left Corvallis with a loss on the road. And, it was an instant classic that is being labeled as one of the best women’s basketball games of the entire season.
There were FIVE lead changes in the final 15 seconds. The game was tied at 72 with 1:03 left. From there, madness ensued.
Timea Gardiner gave Oregon State the lead with a pair of free throws before Angels Dugalic, who just returned from an Olympic qualifier, hit a three-pointer with eight seconds left. Lauren Betts’ clutch jumper gave UCLA a three-point lead with one second left.
But, somehow, someway, Talia von Oelhoffen hit the game-winner that sent the Beavers fans into celebration.
Here are the reactions and ending to the game.
