Bruin Nation, that was a grind! No. 2 UCLA kept their Big Ten streak alive, but Illinois made them earn every bit of that 80-67 win. The Fighting Illini crashed the offensive glass and got All-American Lauren Betts in foul trouble, but Sienna Betts stepped up big. Still, the real story was the rebounding battle—UCLA’s calling card—and Illinois actually made us sweat. Even with Berry Wallace ice cold, the Bruins couldn’t buy a three, but showed off their depth. Thoughts on how Coach Close adjusts for tougher boards? #Sports #UCLABruins #NCAAWBB
