The Big Ten is absolutely stacked with seven teams ranked in the top 25.
However, the top dawg is clear, and it’s the No. 1 UCLA Bruins. UCLA is currently 12-0 and has impressive wins against teams such as Louisville and South Carolina, who were on a historic 43-game winning streak before they ran into the Bruins.
The Bruins are absolutely stacked with talent, but Lauren Betts is the engine that drives it all. The junior center is leading the team in both points and rebounds, averaging a double double a night with 19.8 points and 10 rebounds per matchup.
While Betts has been stellar down low, the guards have taken care of the perimeter. Junior Kiki Rice is scoring 12.6 points per game and freshman Elina Aarnisalo is taking care of ball distribution with 5.3 assists. With such balance and composure, there aren’t many teams that can compete with the Bruins in the Big Ten.
But here’s a look at the squads that have as good a chance as any of challenging UCLA:
