The NCAA bracket has been finalized, and UCLA enters as the No. 1 seed with a path to the Final Four deemed relatively easy. The key to their potential success lies in center Lauren Betts, whose height and skill provide significant advantages. Despite past challenges, the Bruins, under coach Cori Close, possess their most talented roster to date. The article underscores optimism for UCLA to not only reach the Final Four but also secure their first national title, especially with advantageous matchups projecting in their favor.
Do I still have flashbacks to sitting courtside in Albany last season and watching as the Bruins seemingly refused to get the ball into Betts against LSU? You betcha.
This is the most talented roster UCLA coach Cori Close has ever had. The Bruins have advanced to the Elite Eight twice (most recently in 2018), but never past it.
