Commentary: Becoming the next South Carolina was always UCLA's goal. Now it must beat its inspiration South Carolina's success first inspired UCLA four years ago. Now the Bruins will try to beat Dawn Staley's program for the NCAA women's basketball title.

Four years ago, UCLA saw South Carolina and thought: β€œThat’s where we want to be. We want to be that level of program,” and β€œwe know we have the talent, the skill, the ability” to do it.

Bold plans, but they meant what they said. Oh, did they. So cool.
