Kiki Rice showed her skill against Ohio
As UCLA extended its five game streak with a win against the Buckeyes, Rice was right in the middle of the action.
She racked up 16 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, and only 2 turnovers in her second conference game this season against the Ohio State Buckeyes.
It was capped off with a stunning moment just when the buzzer rang. Having previously failed to block T'yana Todd's three-point attempt, Rice managed to sink a three-pointer of her own from beyond the half-court line, ending a 82-75 game.
