UCLA, which entered Friday averaging 15 turnovers per game, finished with 19 against Ole Miss. The Rebels cashed in on 15 points off them. That’s fine when Betts dominated the way she did, but the margin for error only gets smaller as the tournament continues.
Betts was fantastic in the victory, putting up 17 points, seven rebounds and six blocks. UCLA needed every bit of it to hold off the pesky Tigers, who were led as usual by the dynamic duo of Flau'Jae Johnson (28 points, four assists) and Aneesah Morrow (15 points, seven rebounds).
