How Both UCLA Teams Altered Seasons This Weekend

• The Bruins faced off against USC and dominated in every facet, winning the match with a margin of victory above 30 points, landing at 80-46 in UCLA's favor.

• The Bruins were expected to win against their in-state rivals, but they blew all of those expectations out of the water.

• The usual UCLA stars were key in the victory against the Trojans, Lauren Betts and her dominant rebounding, Gianna Kneepens scoring left and right, and all of the starters working together in unison.

• With such dominance against an USC team that is by no means an easy opponent, the Bruins are starting to prove now more than ever that they could make a run past the final four to possibly a championship victory.

• Nothing is guaranteed but things are looking very bright for the UCLA women's team, however, the same cannot be said for the men's team against Iowa, and fans were much less pleased with that matchup.

Men's UCLA Basketball Against #25 Iowa: Adjustments Need To Be Made To Make March Madness

• The first half for the Bruins game against the Iowa Hawkeyes was by far some of their worst play of the season, as it looked like every player was having a bad day at the same time.

• There were times in the first half that UCLA was down by over 20 points and the game was almost already out of reach for the Bruins come halftime.

• Luckily, head coach Mick Cronin was able to make some crucial adjustments to his unit and they started a furious comeback attempt that came close but ultimately fell flat.

• UCLA even came within four points, yet they lost 74-61 and things need to change in the rest of the season.

• Adjustments to the team need to be made the same as they were executed during the second half against Iowa, and if they aren't then the team will have a much harder time winning enough to make it to March Madness.

• However, if UCLA men's basketball can make those adjustments and get back on track then they will have a chance to be dominant come the end of the season.
