UCSB suffered a heartbreaking 92-90 loss to second-seed UC Irvine in a thrilling, action-packed women s quarterfinal game of the Big West Tournament at the Michelob Ultra Arena in the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay Resort on Wednesday.
The Gauchos had a chance to tie the score with two seconds left in regulation after Bri Anugwom was fouled while grabbing an offensive rebound off a missed shot by Danae Miller. Anugwom missed both free throws, and the Anteaters (14-8) rebounded to secure the victory and advance to the semifinals.
