The UCLA Bruins Insider Podcast examines the contrasting outcomes of the men's and women's basketball teams in their Big Ten matchups. The men's team suffered a tough loss to Nebraska, while the women's team continued their winning streak with a victory over Indiana.
The latest episode of the UCLA Bruins Insider Podcast explores the contrasting results of UCLA basketball. Madeleine Considine analyzes the men's team's difficult 66-58 loss to Nebraska, their first Big Ten defeat of the season, while celebrating another impressive victory by the No. 1-ranked women's team, who extended their undefeated streak with a 73-62 win over Indiana. The No.
15-ranked UCLA men's basketball team began their Big Ten matchup against Nebraska strongly but encountered a harsh reality in Lincoln. The Bruins started defensively, forcing multiple turnovers and establishing a 7-0 lead. Tyler Bilodeau's early 3-pointer and Skyy Clark's and-one finish gave UCLA momentum, but it was short-lived. A six-minute scoring drought allowed Nebraska to take control with a 15-0 run. Despite rallying to tie the game 24-24 at halftime, the Bruins couldn't maintain their offense. Another dry spell in the second half, coupled with poor shooting from beyond the arc (4-for-28), sealed their fate. Nebraska capitalized on UCLA's 17 turnovers, scoring crucial points to withstand a late Bruins surge. Head Coach Mick Cronin was candid in his postgame remarks, pointing to poor shooting, lack of execution, and insufficient contributions from the bench as key issues. The Bruins aim to rebound. The No. 1-ranked UCLA women's basketball team continued their exceptional season with a 15th consecutive victory, defeating Indiana on the road in their first Big Ten test. Lauren Betts led the way with her ninth double-double of the season, recording 25 points and 12 rebounds. Kiki Rice and Gabriela Jaquez chipped in 12 and 11 points, respectively, showcasing the team's depth. The Bruins' defense was crucial, limiting Indiana to just two field goals in the second quarter and forcing 17 turnovers. Although the Hoosiers attempted a comeback in the second half, UCLA's balanced attack and superior ball movement proved overwhelming
