SPOKANE, Wash. -- Ever since UCLA lost its final home game of the season to USC at the start of the month, Lauren Betts has changed her mindset. Nothing will get in her way, she has decided.
"Just be aggressive no matter what and do whatever I need to do to help my team," she said.
That has never been more clear than through the start of the NCAA tournament, especially UCLA's 76-62 win over Ole Miss on Friday in the Sweet 16.
Betts finished with 31 points on 15-of-16 shooting and 10 rebounds, becoming the first Division I player to have 30 points, 10 rebounds and 80% FG in back-to-back games over the past 20 seasons, in regular season or postseason play.
