UCLA Basketball: Bruins survive an NCAA Tournament 1st round scare

March Madness… it’s faaaaaaaaaantastic! Or something like that. Either way, the Big Dance is here and the UCLA basketball women’s team continue to roll as they take down #11 Tennessee and advance to the Round of 32.

The Bruins, who are one of the hottest teams entering the tournament, continued their late-season assault as they nearly allowed a comeback, but held it off with a dominating fourth quarter. With this win, UCLA has now won 12 of the last 15 games.

It all started when head coach Cori Close and her Bruins jumped out to a quick lead on the Volunteers.
