My Prediction
UCLA Bruins by 14Hold onto your hats, because we've got quite the match-up pitting the undefeated UCLA Bruins against the impressive but slightly less consistent Maryland Terrapins. Now pay attention because it might get complicated.
The Bruins have been absolutely tearing up the court this season with a 19-0 record, smashing through opponents like a bull in a china shop. Lauren Betts with a steady 20.2 points a game in the recent month, has been on a bit of a romp, chucking balls like they owe her money. It's not all about Betts, mind you, Kiki Rice has been dishing out assist-sundaes with 6.2 on her scoop in the past month. And not forgetting Janiah Barker with a staggering 7 rebounds per game this season. Does she have superglue on her hands?
Now, let's swing our gazes toward the Terrapins. Not to be dismissed with a 16-3 record for the regular season, they've had a little stumble recently against the Buckeyes and Longhorns. It stings, doesn't it? But let's not overlook their glance-stealing Shyanne Sellers, who's been knocking up a storm herself with 20.7 points per game in the last month. Kaylene Smikle isn't far behind either, with her 18.3 points a game, you'd think she was scoring points just by breathing. And our Poffenbarger, oh boy, she's been rebounding like she has a personal grudge against the court floor.
So, where does this leave us? Although the Terrapins are fantastic, it's hard not to be swayed by the Bruins' absolute dominion this season. If it were a fairy tale, I'd say the Bruins has a magic wand, and they aren't afraid to use it.
In our case, not quite a fairy tale, but you get the idea.
