I watched as much of these games as possible and thought the team that most resembled UCLA was the all but written off Oklahoma team with their aggressive pressure d to compensate for their lack of height or whatever. But it got them into the championship game for a rematch of the NC game with UCONN. The first half was scintillating with OU matching UCONN point for point with their whippetlike guard Villaroel who drives the lane like Greco if anything with more of a whoosh factor but they collapsed in the 2nd half and lost by 13. They said Auriemma made an adjustment by forcing the Villaroel to drive to her right. Though my theory is they just wore down from the pressure of playing 3 games in 3 days with that intense style.
The point being UCLA might lose their mojo as the season wears on since they play fast paced game as well.
