Michigan hosts top-ranked UCLA in a pivotal Big Ten game seeking its first conference title share.

Michigan women’s basketball, with a 20-3 record and unbeaten at home, hosts No. 2 UCLA in a crucial Big Ten showdown. Led by head coach Kim Barnes Arico and key players Olivia Olson and Syla Swords, the Wolverines aim to secure a share of their first conference title. The team’s strong season includes deep NCAA tournament runs and a balanced attack with four double-digit scorers. Facing a physically dominant UCLA squad led by 6-foot-7 senior Lauren Betts, Michigan must rely on speed, depth, and elite backcourt play to challenge the nation’s elite.
