The NCAA tournament on the men's AND women's side have been amazing theater. The big teams are winning when it counts, and UCLA has fit the bill on the women's side. At 31-1 entering the tournament, the Bruins seemed to be about the fourth choice by betting favorites behind fellow number one seeds Connecticut, South Carolina, and Texas. They made no match for two of three. The Bruins played absolute clamp down defense and scored consistently to win by an average of 17 points, culminating in a 28 point beatdown of South Carolina in the Finals . Led by our Sportswoman of the Week Lauren Betts. In relative low scoring games, The 6'7" senior Betts scored 30 points in the Final Four, on efficient 13-20 from the field, perfect 4-4 from the line, 22 rebounds, 5 blocks, 5 assists, all of what it takes to win. It was their first NCAA Championship for a program of proud sports tradition. Betts and her team finished the season 37-1, and a worthy Longhorndave Sportswoman of the Week!
