UCLA will be a real test. They return 4 regular players from last year plus the picked up point guard Ledger-Walker from Washington State who was injured late in the season and was an all-Pac10 the previous year. They also added Kneepkins from Brigham Young who the Sooners was pursuing during the portal season.
Most of all they have 6-7 Lauren Betts who averaged over 20 points a game last year and was the Big 10 defensive player of the year with 100 blocks. They can have a quality lineup with a 6-4 wing and a 6-3 forward in addition to Betts. They usually knock off some top teams early in the season and fade a bit at the end of the season.
We will be a legit top 6 team or better if we beat them but we have to bring our A+ game to win. A key is if Beers can control Betts, but she is giving up 3 inches.
