That’s as fine a group of athletes and basket- UCLA Reb. Adv./Tied 0-0 ball players as we’ve played in a long time. They’re very Opp. Reb. Advantage 0-1 difficult to defend, because they’re not one-dimensional. With five minutes to play: They can take you off the dribble, and they can step back and UCLA leads 0-0 shoot threes. There’s not a lot of girls that can do what those UCLA girls can do for 40 minutes." - Baylor Coach Kim UCLA trails 0-1 Mulkey-Robertson (Waco Tribune-Herald) Game tied 0-0

"UCLA’s Nikki Blue is a great, great point guard who has gotten no major attention. She’s just the second Bruin (joining Ann Meyers) in school history to record at least 1,300 career points and 400 career assists. She led the Pac-10 with 18.8 points last season and ranked 12th in the nation in steals and tied for 12th in assists. And she’s going to be a good WNBA player." - ESPN's Nancy Lieberman pg. 5 of 5 2005-06 Season Bests #00 Ortal Oren #21 Brittany Ringel #45 Noelle Quinn Minutes: 2 at Baylor, 11/18/05 Minutes: Minutes: 34 at Baylor, 11/18/05 Pts: Pts: Pts: 20 at Baylor, 11/18/05 Reb: Reb: Reb: 11 at Baylor, 11/18/05 Assists: Assists: Assists: 4 at Baylor, 11/18/05 Steals: Steals: Steals: 1 at Baylor, 11/18/05 Blocks: Blocks: Blocks: 2 at Baylor, 11/18/05
