Geno Auriemma embarrasses self, UConn with Dawn Staley tiff | Opinion UConn coach Geno Auriemma criticized Dawn Staley's interactions with referees, then had late-game words with her.

I think Geno Auriemma is one of the greatest coaches, in any game.
But he was in the wrong with his tantrum at Dawn Staley at the end of UConn’s loss to South Carolina.

I need everyone to stop calling UCLA boring so that Cori Close can stop feeling guilty for the fact that she smartly suppresses the number of possessions in games bc she only plays 7 players and one of them is a 6’7” and would likely wear down trying to play the game like LSU

Lauren Betts on how UCLA got to the national championship game:

“We want this so bad for each other … We just want to earn more days with each other. We want to make history … Obviously, job’s not finished.”

The Bru-WINS.

For the first time in program history, UCLA is heading to the women’s NCAA Tournament national championship game.

Madison Booker shot 3/23. Way below her standard.

UCLA heavily contested 21 of her 23 shots. Her only 2 open looks were 3s.

Booker absolutely had an off night, but the main reason was the collective defense that the Bruins played against her.

It's South Carolina vs. UCLA in the 2026 women’s NCAA Tournament national championship game.

UCLA is going to the national championship

For the first time, UCLA is going to the national championship game.

Bruins win an absolute slugfest with Texas 51-44 to win a date with South Carolina, who just knocked off previously-undefeated UConn.

btw watching Lauren Betts go from her Stanford freshman season (my first year covering WBB) to UCLA this year in the Final Four... very cool stuff

“All five UCLA players looked at Cori Close and signaled to review the play”

Folks, I’ve been trying to tell you they’re all WNBA-ready

Statbroadcast has UCLA with 63 possessions and Texas with 60 in the final box score. The offensive numbers certainly aren’t great but they’re not UConn-Butler men’s natty bad either. This was a high-level basketball game, it was just a low-possession and very physical game.

I thought the shooting in the regionals was rough....

But lord these games were unbearable to watch. Like these are teams that feature some record breaking shooters...

SC: 21/56 (2/6 from 3P) - 38%
UConn: 19/61 (6/21 from 3P) - 31%
TX: 20/65 (2/9 from 3P) - 31%
UCLA: 18/44 (4/13 from 3P) - 41%

Final Fours Up: UCLA defeats Texas to reach first NCAA women's title game UCLA head coach Cori Close told ESPN in the pregame leading up to her team’s Final Four matchup against Texas that she wanted the Bruins to “play free and aggressive.” After displaying some shaky mome...

Final Fours Up: UCLA beats Texas to reach the program's first-ever NCAA national championship game

UCLA IS GOING TONTHE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

FINAL

No. 1 @UCLAWBB 51
No. 1 Texas 44

Revenge is Bruin.

UCLA 51, Texas 44, final. The Bruins will face South Carolina on Sunday for the title.

A hat tip to the Longhorns’ Rori Harmon on the end of her great college career. Much more success awaits in the WNBA.

This block from Lauren Betts !! Texas was coming on strong and UCLA's All-American said NOPE!

UCLA GOES TO THEIR FIRST EVER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE BIG TEN WILL GET A CHANCE TO BREAK THEIR LENGTHY TITLE DROUGHT

HOOPLA TOMORROWWWWWW

"I feel bad for the fans, 31-28, I mean this is an ugly basketball game"
UCLA coach Cori Close

Record watch: The fewest points scored in both Final Four Games combined is 200 in 2007.

With 110 points in the first game, we're only at 176 points combined with 9 minutes remaining. UCLA up 38-28.

whatever happens, a lot of y'all completely underestimated the UCLA defense
