Pac-12 women’s basketball report: No. 25 Colorado, USC’s next opponent, knocks off No. 8 UCLA

Pac-12 women’s basketball report: No. 25 Colorado, USC’s next opponent, knocks off No. 8 UCLA

This Mountain road trip is a supremely tough test for USC women’s basketball. The Trojans lost to No. 9 Utah on Friday in Salt Lake City. It won’t get any easier on Sunday in Boulder.

USC will have to face a No. 25 Colorado team which just took down No. 8 UCLA on Friday night. Colorado’s Kindyll Wetta hit a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left to give CU a 73-70 win over the Bruins. Colorado is now 3-0 at home this season against nationally-ranked opponents.

That’s USC’s next big test.

Buffaloes Wire has more on Colorado’s win over UCLA, describing the assist pass which set up Wetta’s winning shot.

“The pass came from guard Jaylyn Sherrod, who earlier in the night reached 400 career assists. Few, though, were sweeter than that clutch dish to Wetta,” Buffaloes Wire wrote.

“UCLA’s final heave in the waning seconds went wide at the buzzer, sending the CU Events Center into a frenzy along with the players on the court.”

USC-Colorado starts just after 11 a.m. Pacific time on Sunday. The early start is a product of the NFL conference championship games and the need to not go up directly against NFL programming. Follow Buffaloes Wire for more on the CU side of this game.
