What went wrong for the ASU basketball women’s team today versus UCLA?
1. Rebounding
ASU’s best quality throughout the season has been their rebounding. They don’t win many games without controlling the boards.
On Friday, they were dominated down low by UCLA, losing the rebounding margin 31-26. The Devils usually rely on Sophie Brunner and Quinn Dornstauder to do the dirty work down low, but against the Bruins the two only accounted for 3 combined rebounds.
2. Their Start
The start of the game for ASU could not have been much worse as UCLA opened up on a 26-4 run.
