Teams on the court


Both UCLA and UConn are officially on the hardwood.

Wow, well, that floor is holding down some of the *very* best in college basketball. We’ve got future No. 1 pick Paige Bueckers – holder of the John R. Wooden Award, the Naismith Women’s College Player of the Year, ESPYs Best Female College Athlete, don’t make me list more – and Lauren Betts, this year’s Naismith Defensive Player of the Year, AP and USBWA First-Team All-American and perhaps the last person you want to see in the paint.

And that’s not to exclude the rest of the talent on this floor. We’re blessed tonight, folks, stay tuned.
