If all goes as planned, UCLA and USC women will renew rivalry in Big Ten tournament
Briefly

The UCLA women's basketball team is gearing up for the Big Ten tournament, having experienced significant leadership and teamwork following two losses to rival USC. Coach Cori Close praised the immediate reaction from players like Kiki Rice and Gabriela Jaquez, who initiated a candid meeting to address recent struggles. The team aims to leverage their strengths and unity as they prepare for a potentially decisive championship match against USC, hoping to turn their season around after a disappointing record against them.
It's just unacceptable," Jaquez said Thursday of the way the team played as she said on the bleachers inside the Arsenal Technical High gym, "and what I appreciate most about this team is it's going to do whatever it takes and we're not satisfied and we did not feel good by any means after that, so it's like, how can we change?
The silver lining," Close said of the latest defeat, "is that there has been an unbelievable response from our player leadership."
