Allie Ziebel and Neenah lost a heart-breaker in OT Saturday against by far the best competition they have faced. Without Allie it would've been a blowout. Neenah was down 13-0 on the road, eventually took the lead, and Ziebell tied it late with a three, but her teammate missed a layup that would've won it.

28 points (9-18 FG, 6-11 3-PT, 4-4 FT), 10 rebs, 3 assists, 4 steals, 1 block

Straight from the Dog

Yes, UConn is averaging more turnovers than any other season. Everyone is freaked out. How do we fix this???

It's simple. Have Nika and Azzi play in the same game.

6 games with both in the lineup - 14.7 TOPG
7 games with one or both missing - 20.5 TOPG

Fudd will be back soon and the turnovers will drop.

___________________________________________

No. 10 UCLA lost to unranked Oregon State 77-72 on Sunday. As UConn fans know, it's tought in the first game after you lose your leading scorer, i.e. Paige last season and Azzi this year.

The Bruins lost Charisma Osbourne in the previous game to a shoulder injury. The UCLA coach says it's a shoulder sprain. Hopefully she will be back soon.
