Скачать или смотреть Lisa Leslie & Cori Close on UCLA’s Chances to Return to the Final Four

UCLA head coach Cori Close joins Lisa Leslie on Between the Lines as the Bruins surge into March as one of the nation’s top teams. Coach drops dimes all episode long about what fuels UCLA’s culture, why the USC–UCLA rivalry brings out the best in both programs, and how the Big Ten grind has prepared her team for the tournament. She also dives into Lauren Betts’ “unicorn” impact, Kiki Rice’s underrated brilliance, the realities of the transfer portal, and the mindset it takes to stay steady under March Madness pressure. Plus, with as many as six UCLA players projected to be drafted this year, Coach reflects on the pride of helping players chase their pro dreams while building a championship-caliber team.
