UCLA’s win over No. 1-ranked South Carolina was no fluke, and Bruins center Lauren Betts says if you haven’t been paying attention, now would be the time to do it.
Let’s say it. It was not closed on Sunday. From start to final buzzer, UCLA spoke and had an answer to everything the Gamecocks were trying to do. The Bruins outrebounded South Carolina (41-34), held four starters to fewer than five points and *checks notes* not a single starter went to the free throw line. UGLY STUFF.
Additionally, five UCLA players scored in double figures, including Londynn Jones, who was sensational from the line with five 3-pointers, and star center Lauren Betts, who had 11 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and four blocks. PHEW. After the game, Betts praised her team and its pride, but she also sent a direct warning to college basketball. “If you slept at UCLA,” Betts said. “You need to stop now.”
