The UCLA Bruins have been a powerhouse of women’s basketball for years, but the program has somehow never been to the Final Four. That may change this year, as the school has taken more momentum than ever into the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
Cori Close’s squad has been dominant on both ends of the floor all season, leading UCLA to its first 30-2 record in program history. The only school that defeated the Bruins all season was conference-rival USC, but the Bruins got revenge when they beat the Trojans in the Big Ten Conference Championship.

That marked UCLA’s first conference title since 2006, but it’s clear that this team isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Junior 6-7 center Lauren Betts might be the most unstoppable force in the nation, and the junior guards Kiki Rice, Londynn Jones and Gabriela Jaquez add experience, playmaking and chemistry.
The path to the title game in Tampa could very well be paved in blue and yellow. If you want a chance to catch UCLA in person on its bid for March Madness history, here’s everything you need to know about the Bruins’ tournament, including schedule, ticket links and more.
