The Indiana women's basketball team faces its toughest test this season: a matchup against UCLA, the nation's No. 1-ranked team. IU is 10-3 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten Conference. The Hoosiers are on a six-game win streak. UCLA is 14-0 overall and 3-0 in league play.

Besides Indiana’s shortcomings, UCLA’s Lauren Betts had a lot to say about Indiana’s fate. The 6-foot-7 National Player of the Year candidate was as good as advertised. She scored 25 points on 12 of 16 shooting and had 12 rebounds. Her influence was inescapable on both ends of the floor.

Lauren Betts had 25 points and 12 rebounds and No. 1 UCLA shut out Indiana for more than eight minutes in the first half of a 73-62 victory in its first visit as a Big Ten Conference member.
