If you wanted a sample of what the UCLA basketball women’s team will look like next season, this win over ASU was a sneak peek. The Bruins were in control all game long as two-time senior Japreece Dean logged 24 points to help the Bruins to a win in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament.
A day after finding out that she has been granted an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA, Dean led the Bruins on a charge through their quarterfinal matchup. She helped the Bruins jump out to an early lead in the first quarter and was held a comfortable lead through halftime, 41-31.
