UCLA scorches Ole Miss to make the Elite Eight

UCLA put up solid numbers from the field to knock out Ole Miss from 2025 NCAA Tournament contention on Friday. The Bruins shot 60% from the field, thanks mostly to Lauren Betts' 15-of-16 shooting.

Cori Close's team also shot 44.4% from the 3-point line and made the Rebels pick their poison on which offensive attack they should hold up in the game.
