No. 5 UCLA ready for revenge vs. No. 1 South Carolina two years after tournament loss

LA Times  

After UCLA was eliminated by South Carolina during the 2023 Sweet 16, Bruins coach Cori Close sat at the podium for her postgame news conference. “I have to be able to put this team in different and better situations, given what I’ve learned about them.” UCLA forward Janiah Barker grabs a rebound during the Bruins’ win over Arkansas on Nov. 17. Close said she hoped Rice would be able to play South Carolina without any limitations, but is confident in backup point guard Elina Aarnisalo’s ability to run the offense. Junior forward Chloe Kitts leads the Gamecocks in scoring and rebounding, but South Carolina’s biggest strength is its depth and coach Dawn Staley’s ability to consistently rotate 11 players into games without much dropoff. I want us to play with incredible focus and competitiveness, but I want us to be completely process-oriented … right choices, being the most prepared team, getting tougher every day, having a growth mindset, no matter who we play.” This weekend also features an aspect of college basketball that’s slowly disappearing, as noted this past week by UCLA men’s basketball coach Mick Cronin: a marquee nonconference matchup played at Pauley Pavilion in front of the Bruins’ home crowd.
