Debra Antonelli: "There's five minutes left on the clock, and the Lady Bruins are really gonna have to buckle down if they're gonna chip away at this fifteen point lead that Baylor has accumulated."

Roy Philpott: "It's very possible Deb. Three of Coach Close's offensive weapons are on the floor. Korver, Canada and Harper have combined for 50 of the Lady Bruins 78 points."

Debra Antonelli: "Let's take a look and see as Baylor in bounds the ball underneath their basket."

Roy Philpott: "There's the whistle, ball is thrown in by Baylor and.... STOLEN! Stolen by Izzy-Leigh Harper! And she breaks out in the front court for an easy lay-up!"

Debra Antonelli: "That was great defense by the Bruins and their senior guard Izzy-Leigh Harper. They're gonna need more of that with four and a half minutes left."

Roy Philpott: "Baylor brings the ball down court Simmons take the shot, No good! UCLA with the rebound."

Debra Antonelli: "Jordan Canada brings the ball up for UCLA, passes it down low to Heard, double team she throws it back to Izzy-Leigh Harper...she pulls up at the timeline...BANG! She got it! She got it from Curry range!"

Roy Philpott: "Baylor takes the ball out. Coach Close calls for her team to press full court. The ball is being inbounded. Trouble...trouble for the Baylor Lady Bears. Steal by Korver who gets on the floor for the 50 50 balls punches it to Harper who pulls up from 3 again....BANG!"

Debra Antonelli: "Wow, the senior Izzy-Leigh Harper is on fire tonight, look at her swagger. She's feeling it. Baylor is in trouble. Their fifteen point lead has been cut to 7. Three minutes left.

Roy Philpott: "Baylor comes back up court. Finds a way to break the UCLA press. Simmons drives to the basket off a pick and roll, and it's blocked by the 6'4 junior Monique Billings!"

Debra Antonelli:"She outlets it out to Izzy-Leigh Harper. She's got two Baylor defenders running with her."

Roy Philpott: "Look at Canada hustling down the court!"

Debra Antonelli: "Izzy- Leigh Harper finds her teammate with the no look pass...and one!!! Jordan Canada finishes with the opportunity to make it a three point play at the stripe. The Lady Bruins can cut it to 4 with a made free throw."

Roy Philpott: "I'm surprised Coach Mulkey has not called a time out for her Lady Bears. The Lady Bruins have went on a 11-0 run with Jordan Cameron icing her free throw at the line."


Debra Antonelli: "Coach Mulkey must have heard you Roy. She calls a full time out..folks we have three minutes left. UCLA has cut a 15 point lead down to four. Stay tuned. We'll be right back after the break. You don't wanna miss this ending."

Debra Antonelli: "Ladies and gentleman we are back. Thank you for joining us here on ESPN. We have a four point game between PAC 10 rivals Baylor and UCLA here at Pauley Pavillion. Roy, tell us what you're seeing out there."

Roy Philpott: "Deb, I see a shining light on the court and that light is Izzy-Leigh Harper. She's doing it all. Defense, getting her teammates involved and it being afraid to take the big shots. She's the type of kid you want out there in games like this."
