Looks like they even used a matching blue-and-gold colored ladder for cutting down the net. It would be cool if UCLA were to advance and win the championship by beating both "USC" schools again. Hard to believe it's been 50 years since Coach Wooden retired after winning his final championship. His first one came after coaching UCLA for 16 years, so Coach Close is just about due for her first one (14 seasons now at UCLA).

Go Lady Bruins!

I think Coach Close has really built a program as Coach Wooden would have built for the Lady Bruins. She spent a lot of time with Coach and she infuses all she learned from him into her coaching and teaching of her players. It is really wonderful to see the outcome for this team 💙💛💙💛

I noticed she often gives credit to Coach Wooden and has espoused some of his wisdom onto her team. Great to see his teachings and their positive influence still works after all these years.
