Lauren Betts powers UCLA past Washington to clinch a share of Big Ten title

LOS ANGELES — The UCLA women’s basketball team rolled past another Big Ten opponent, but it didn’t match the dominant performances the Bruins have grown accustomed to.

UCLA beat Washington, 82-67, on Thursday night, but the Bruins let the Huskies hang around far longer than they should have before closing out the win to clinch a share of the Big Ten regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. The Bruins (26-1 overall, 16-0 Big Ten) can win the title outright with a victory over visiting Wisconsin on Sunday.
