In the video shared by UCLA WBB's Instagram account, Barker was involved in a one-on-one situation with an opponent who was trying hard to guard her and prevent her from shooting or passing the ball. However, with a smooth execution of the breakaway move, Barker broke away clean, shot at the basket almost unguarded and sunk it.

Barker ended the game with eight points, six rebounds and one assist. UCLA will face LSU in the Elite Eight matchup on Sunday.

UCLA star Lauren Betts had 31 points, 10 rebounds and two assists. Kiki Rice contributed 13 points, seven assists and three rebounds.
