For UCLA, the Big Ten has decided to broadcast, on June 18th, the Bruins' first-ever women's basketball national championship victory vs South Carolina, and UCLA baseball's comeback victory over cross-town rival USC in the Big Ten tournament.
UCLA vs. South Carolina

UCLA women's basketball was a top-three team all season long, led by some of the nation's top players in Lauren Betts, Gabriela Jaquez, and Kiki Rice. In the game against the Gamecocks, the Bruins completely dominated, holding one of the top offensive teams in the country to 51 points and just 23 in the first half.
In that game, Gabriela Jaquez would lead the Bruins in scoring with 21 on an impressive 8-14 shooting from the field and 2-4 from three while also grabbing 10 rebounds. UCLA would also get help from both Betts and Gianna Kneepkens, as they would each have 14 and 15 points, respectively.

Overall, on the route to the program's first National Championship, the Bruins put the hammer down on the Gamecocks in an overall team victory.
UCLA vs. USC

This game was a big comeback game for the Bruins, as they would be in a tough position against the Trojans. UCLA swept the Trojans in the season series, but in the Big Ten tournament, the Trojans brought their A-game and made the Bruins work for the comeback victory.
USC would take an early 3-2 lead in the fourth inning. In the bottom of the seventh inning, the Bruins would take back the lead after Dean West would hit a two-run shot to right field, giving the Bruins a 4-3 lead. However, in the top of the ninth inning, USC Issac Idenna would reach first on a fielder's choice, bringing in Adrian Lopez from third. Then Jack Basseer would hit a sac-fly to give the Trojans a one-run lead.

In the bottom of the ninth with two outs and two on base, Mulivai Levu would have another walk-off as he would homer to right-center field to win the game for the Bruins and give the Bruins their first-ever Big Ten title.
