Alleyne’s performance Saturday is her fourth game with at least 30 points and 20 rebounds. She currently leads the NCAA with 18 double-doubles.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had a player have a more impressive performance, and then to see her cap it off with the game-winning shot was something special,” head coach Kelly Graves said after the game.
Alleyne tops the Pac-12 in rebounding with 15.3 per game and ranks fifth in scoring with 17.2 points per game.
