“Underdogs or Powerhouses? Unveiling the Surprising Contenders for the Women’s Final Four Championship!”
UCLAâs only two losses this season were against JuJu Watkins and USC. Watkins poured in 38 and 30 points to lead the Trojans, although the Bruins came back to win the third meeting in the Big Ten tournament final.
The Bruins will need to slow down UConn stars Bueckers and Strong to reach Sundayâs national championship game, and they can with a big presence down low.
How will anyone in the Final Four handle Lauren Betts? The 6-7 center is the second-tallest player remaining in the tournament behind Texasâ 6-9 Abbie Boutilier, who hasnât played this season. Betts is the only Division I player to be averaging at least 3.0 blocks per game (3.0) while shooting over 60.0% from the field (64.9). She will have a five-inch advantage over Strong and could dominate on both sides of the floor (UConn also starts 6-5 center Jana El Alfy with 6-3 Ice Brady coming off the bench).
