UCLA 80, South Carolina 76: If this game was in February, it’s a different story but it’s early and South Carolina hasn’t played a complete game yet, especially on offense. Raven Johnson and Chloe Kitts will need to be productive on offense, and Ashlyn Watkins will have to defend Lauren Betts well in the paint to win.
No injuries for South Carolina as of Saturday.
