UCLA’s No. 2 women’s basketball squad showed just how deep their bench runs, outlasting Illinois 80-67—even with star Lauren Betts in foul trouble early. The Betts sisters combined for 33 points and 15 rebounds, making life tough for the Illini in the paint. Illinois’ freshmen, especially Cearah Parchment with 26 points, kept things interesting and cut the lead to five in the second half, but the Bruins’ talent surge in the fourth quarter sealed it. For Illinois fans, this wasn’t a bad loss, but the hunt for a signature win continues. How do you feel about the Illini’s chances in their upcoming road stretch? #Sports #Illini #UCLA
