Texas advanced by throttling Michigan 77-41, setting up a matchup against the Bruins. This is the second time this season the teams have met, with the Longhorns handing UCLA their only defeat in November.
UCLA faces significant challenges in the rematch, particularly defending Texas guards Rori Harmon and Madison Booker. To secure a spot in the championship game, the Bruins must improve significantly from their previous 76-65 loss and get a more impactful performance from Lauren Betts.
