Kiki Rice and the Bruins are coming off a remarkable season, posting a 34-3 overall run. They posted a 16-2 record in their first-ever Big Ten conference stretch and also became the league champions by defeating USC 72-67. UCLA earned the top seed in the NCAA tournament and defeated Southern Jaguars, Richmond, Ole Miss, and LSU Tigers to mark a Final Four appearance.

The most instrumental piece for the program was the partnership between Rice and Lauren Betts. The guard spearheaded dynamic playmaking and scoring behind her ability to facilitate and defend near the perimeter.

Betts emerged as a dominant paint anchor in the college basketball circuit. Her ease in scoring near the basket and deflecting opposing players off their driving lanes was crucial in the school's success this season.
