The duel was over before Pistol Pete could draw his weapon.
It didn’t help that he barely brought any bullets.

March means a team that lost just one game through the regular season and conference tournament is now suddenly one loss away from the end of its season.

UCLA women’s basketball (31-1, 18-0 Big Ten) returns for its second consecutive NCAA Tournament as a No. 1 seed Saturday when it plays No. 16 seed Cal Baptist at Pauley Pavilion.

Breaking records became a habit for the Bruins last season.
First 12-week streak atop the AP Poll by a Big Ten team. First No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament in program history.

No. 1 seed UCLA women’s basketball and No. 7 seed UCLA men’s basketball are both returning to the “Big Dance” for the 2025-26 campaign – with the former holding a stake of the title odds and the latter looking to go past the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since the 2020-21 season.

“We want Meg.”
Less than three minutes remain in a home game at Pauley Pavilion.
The Bruins are winning by a margin that requires a second look at the scoreboard.
