There’s no easy way to beat this women’s basketball team given the depth and balance that was once again on display Saturday inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Bruins had five players score in double figures and received multiple key contributions off the bench duringa 72-62 victory over Ohio Statein aBig Ten Tournamentsemifinal.
It’s the sort of showing that makes one believe this team has what it takes to win its first NCAA championship.
“This team is really special,” said Betts, whose 14 points, nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals felt routine given her continued dominance. “This group of girls that we have together is not normal. To be in these type of games, you’re definitely going to need every single person. I’m proud of how everyone had the confidence to step up and do what was needed when we needed them.”
