SERIES HISTORY
The Cougs finish their last road trip at #18/16 UCLA were they look to come up with their first-ever season sweep of the Bruins. Last time out against UCLA, the Cougs came up with their biggest upset in program history, knocking off the then #9/7 ranked Bruins, 82-73, in Pullman.  In the game, freshman Chanelle Molina came up with a freshmen record 33 points. Moline, however, was lost for the season two games later when she tore her ACL at Arizona State. UCLA has been unbeatable at Pauley Pavilion as the Bruins sport a perfect 13-0 record at home this season. They have won 26-straight at home dating back to last year. Their last loss at home came to #2 South Carolina back on Nov. 22, 2015 in a 68-65.

LAST TIME OUT
Ten minutes in the middle of the contest proved too much to overcome for Washington State on the road at USC as the Cougs dropped an 80-64 decision to the Trojans at the Galen Center Friday night. Stymied with foul trouble in the opening half, the Cougs let their guard down for just 10 minutes in the contest only to see the Trojans capitalize to break open a close contest in the second quarter. Down just three heading into the second frame the Cougs scored the first five points of the new period to take a two-point lead just two minutes in. However, the lead would be the final advantage of the game for WSU as the Cougs went cold, scoring just six points over the final seven minutes of the half. In all, the Trojans hit 20-of-27 from the line including 13-of-16 in the fourth quarter thanks to a foul discrepancy that at one point had WSU with 12 fouls to the Trojans' three midway through the third quarter. The foul trouble hit the Cougs' front court the hardest allowing USC to crash the boards early to establish their lead.
