The fourth-seeded Bruins and fifth-seeded Sooners play in the NCAA tournament’s second round Monday at Pauley Pavilion. The winner faces top-ranked South Carolina
The UCLA women’s basketball team had next to no depth in last year’s postseason. This time around, it’s the opposite. The Bruins have a deep bench that helped them beat Sacramento State 67-45 in the first round of the NCAA tournament while barely breathing heavily.
“We have so many different weapons that play against different styles,” UCLA coach Cori Close said. “So it may not be the same every single game through the tournament. But right now, I just want to make sure that we’re mentally prepared and that we’re completely selfless, and then we’ll see what the game brings.”
Taylor Robertson led the Sooners in scoring with 14 points and Skylar Vann put up 11 points with 11 rebounds. Oklahoma leaned into a physical style of play against Portland and scored 34 points in the paint. UCLA is making 32.5% of its shots from 3-point range, and three Bruins players shoot 34.6% or above in Gabriela Jaquez , Londynn Jones and Emily Bessoir .
