Bruins Fall to LSU in Sweet Sixteen
78-69
2-Seed Bruins Prepare for Battle with LSU
The UCLA Bruins women's basketball team's season came to an end in the Sweet Sixteen on Saturday afternoon, as they fell to the LSU Tigers, 78-69. The Bruins, who were seeded second in the tournament, were led by sophomore guard Charisma Osborne, who scored 20 points. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the Tigers, who were led by senior forward Alexis Morris, who scored 23 points. The Bruins struggled from the field in the first half, shooting just 33%, and they trailed by 10 points at the break. They rallied in the second half and cut the lead to four points with just over two minutes remaining. However, the Tigers made their free throws down the stretch to seal the victory. The loss is a disappointing end to a season that saw the Bruins win the Pac-12 regular-season title and reach the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 2018. However, the Bruins have a bright future, with a young and talented roster that should be back in contention next season.
