Head coach Cori Close and her UCLA basketball team are going dancing, but how long can they move to the groove of the NCAA Tournament, especially with a lot of big dance teams in their way?
The Bruins have been one of the hottest teams in the nation heading into the postseason, mostly because of their efforts in the Pac-12. They had a 7-2 conference road record, they beat five ranked Pac-12 opponents and they have won 11 of their last 14 games.
These facts should certainly strike fear into the heart of any team, but the Bruins’ path through the Big Dance has more than a few teams that not only have a lot of experience in the tournament but have had to deal with teams getting hot late.
