The top-ranked UCLA Bruins are the nation's last unbeaten Division I team for men and women. Thursday, they take their perfect 23-0 record on the road -- 14 miles away, to be exact -- to face the No. 6 USC Trojans (21-2) in the first of two highly anticipated games between the Big Ten's top two teams.

Lauren Betts, a 6-foot-7 junior, leads UCLA -- currently projected as the No. 1 overall seed in Bracketology -- with 19.6 points and 9.7 rebounds. JuJu Watkins, who broke the NCAA freshman single-season scoring record last season, paces USC with 23.
