At halftime of UCLA versus Minnesota in Sacramento, the Golden Gophers — trailing by just five points — looked primed to give the Bruins a game. Maybe even put them on upset alert thanks to some effective 3-point shooting and a (surprising) rebound advantage over the Bruins.

But UCLA head coach Cori Close had just the halftime adjustments. And by the time the final buzzer rang, the Gophers looked outmatched as the Bruins cruised to a blowout win to punch their ticket to another Elite Eight.

Star guard Kiki Rice, who scored 25 points the last time these two teams played, had the Gophers’ number again and led the way with 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting. She attacked the rim, ran the floor and went a perfect 6-for-6 from the foul line. And Lauren Betts, well, she did Betts things.

The Bruins’ star center had a little bit of everything up her sleeve, finishing with 16 points, five rebounds, five blocks, three assists and a steal. She showed off her ball-handling and quick feet on a beautiful spin move in the first half, flashed her touch with turnaround jumpers over the Gophers’ post players on multiple occasions and again looked like the hardest player on the floor to guard.
