The Tennessee Lady Volunteers have been in every NCAAW Tournament since its inception. Yesterday’s 89-77 loss to No. 6 UCLA is only the second time that Tennessee has failed to advance to the second round in tournament history.
UCLA jumped out to a 14-point lead after the first quarter, 28-14. The Volunteers cut the Bruins’ lead to four points by the end of the third quarter and took their first lead of the game early in the fourth quarter, 59-58. At the 3:42 mark with the game tied at 70 apiece, UCLA closed out the game on a 19-7 run.
The Bruins had five players score in double figures, led by Michaela Onyenwere’s 22 points.
Later in the day, DePaul became the only No. 6 seed not to advance to the second round. No. 11 Missouri State took the game 89-78, advancing to the second round for the first time since 2001. The Lady Bears advanced to the Final Four that year.
The game was tied six times and the lead changed six times, all in the first quarter. Missouri State took the lead in the second quarter and never looked back, leading by as many as 21 points in the fourth quarter.
Two 20-point performances from Danielle Gitzen and Alexa Willard led the 52 percent shooting performance.
In one of the last games of the day, No. 13 Boise State took No. 4 Oregon State to overtime, but the Beavers ended up with the 80-75 win. Oregon State held an eight-point lead at the half, 36-28. Down 42-35 in the middle of the third, Boise State closed the quarter on a 12-3 run to take the lead, 47-45.
Boise State never led by more than four points, while Oregon State only held a one-point lead for a short time in the fourth quarter. Katie Williams of Oregon State hit two free throws with eight seconds left in regulation to tie the game.
The Beavers needed only three field goal attempts in overtime, with 10 of their 14 overtime points coming from the charity stripe. The Broncos’ 31 percent shooting performance haunted them into overtime, as they shot just 2-for-12 in the period.
