The Ohio State victory moved UCLA to a historic 22-0 record, extending its win streak to the longest in program history, passing the 21-game record set in 1977-78.

Kiki Rice shares her thoughts on Ohio State's challenge after the win

While the UCLA Bruins finished the game comfortably with a 13-point win over Ohio State, they faced a tough test from the 8th-ranked team throughout the game. After the third quarter, the Bruins were only up by two points as the score read 44-42. However, a 15-0 run from UCLA in the fourth quarter ultimately sealed the victory.

Kiki Rice, who had 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting, spoke about the challenges the Buckeyes posed during the postgame interview.

"Ohio State's a great team. They bring a lot of pressure," she said. "We really haven't played against a team with that same style of play in a while, so it took a little while to get settled. First quarter was a little bit rough just to take care of the ball, but we eventually found a rhythm."

Kiki Rice further highlighted her team's versatility in scoring, with contributions from multiple players.

"That's the best thing about this team — the amount of ways we can score and defend," Rice said. "Any night, it could be anyone. What makes it so hard to scout us and stop us is that we have a variety of options."

The Bruins travel to take on the Oregon Ducks on Sunday before facing their Big Ten rival USC on Feb. 13.
