Lauren Betts Makes UCLA History with Dominant NCAA Tournament Performance

Betts' 30-point, 14-rebound game leads UCLA to Sweet 16 and earns her comparisons to program legends.

Lauren Betts became the first UCLA player to record 30 points and 10 rebounds in an NCAA tournament game, finishing with 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 assists against Richmond.
UCLA defeated Richmond 84-67 in the second round of the NCAA tournament, securing their third consecutive Sweet 16 appearance.
Betts' presence created significant mismatches, opening opportunities for teammates and anchoring UCLA's second-half dominance, especially on defense.
Former NBA player Mychal Thompson ranked Betts among UCLA's greatest centers, alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton.
UCLA will face No. 5 seed Mississippi in the Sweet 16 on Friday in Spokane, continuing their quest for the program's first NCAA title.
