SC got whipped congrats UCLA you deserve it ❤❤❤❤❤
Congrats to UCLA. They dominated South Carolina the whole game.
America won today. Great job UCLA.
INSTANT KARMA
48 hours is not enough time to prepare the beat down this UCLA team delivers, just ask Iowa. Congrats to the UCLA team, the Best team in college basketball all season, dominate! Betts was the Best player in College basketball all season, but today it was Gabriela Jaquez and Lauren Betts!! Cori Close and her staff are UNBELIVABLE Coaches! Congrats! 💙💙💛💛
I have no words to say ,just congratulations UCLA ,u shut up the Dawn racist
I never wanted to see a team get beat so bad
It is just nice to see a nucleus grow for 4 years resulting in a natty like the old days. Congrats UCLA! My alma mater!
UCLA All the way! 4’s UP!
SC I hope you guys enjoyed your fake Natty win on Friday when you beat my UCONN squad. You guys got so amped up to beat us you forgot about the really Natty 🏆. UCLA beat the 💩💩 outta yall lol 😀😀 Back 2 Back titles LOSSES!! Congrats UCLA Bruins!!! Happy for Cori Close & those seniors.
Congratulations UCLA 🎉 🍾 🥳
Congratulations! Not a UCLA fan but I approve of them demolishing Dawn's Dirtbags, thw dirtiest team around!
total deluxe dominance. We see LA – yep yep we do! College hoops is at its best when there's at least one left coast juggernaut. This program had been seeded for dynasty and was ready, and this seasons phase 1 is complete. One title and more to come.
SC focused way too much on UCONN, it drained them both mentally & physically
Glad they beat these Thugs,, now we dont have to listen to ESPN ,,So much about Staley a GReat COACH,,,, another DEI hire..
What, no black players on UCLA team! They're racists! (Liberal narrative) 😂 CONGRATS UCLA! THE EAST COAST BIASED ESPN GOT DESTROYED!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations to both programs for getting to the final stage but there can only be one and U.C.L.A. was clearly the best basketball team in 2026 by far! Congratulations ladies of UCLA it was well deserved!!
South carolina has no class
Wow! 15 yrs coaching and finally won. Just goes to show that if you want something bad enough to "never give up".
lol should have been Uconn..
Wow. That was the best defense I seen for girl's 😮..that right there was routine 😮..Brilliant Girl's..UCLA..the first university to stand up for George Floyd..God is god…national 🏆 🎉🎉
Congrats, UCLA players and coach.

South Carolina fan here congratulating UCLA on a great season and a convincing win. Enjoy your well earned national title.
Karma came for SC.
UCLA women just proved how wrong ESPN is
Big Ten rules
1st, I wish to express that I watched South Carolina’s post-game presser and their coach was all class. Indeed, she gave UCLA credit for disrupting SC’s game (something I did not hear from the Texas coach and so many pundits – especially those from the South). That means a lot b/c, besides UCLA’s conference, I do not think many took UCLA very serious.
2nd, I wish to thank the UCLA players and coaches for a fantastic season. I am grateful for the blessing of attending UCLA where I completed under-grad and grad school so I am thankful and proud of this UCLA team for putting in the hard work to realize their dream w/ grace, integrity and passion. Way to represent! With humility, thank you and a joyful Easter to all.
The women's games don't come down to the final minute like a lot of men's games do.
GO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤😊😊😊😊😢😢
UCSB GAUCHO CORI CLOSE
OLE OLE OLE OLE
🙄
The UCLA staff worked that transfer portal like a fiddle. The team had all the essentials, it’s almost unbelievable the lady Bruins weren’t undefeated. I actually watched their only loss against Texas and thought Texas would be in this spot.
Well deserved Bruins!
Congrats 🍾 Bruins!!! Champs!!! 👏🏽
Those white girls showed them sisters how to play some real basketball.🤣🤣
Coach Auriemma smiling as he drinks his tea in silence.
Congratulations UCLA!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🎊🎊🎊🎊
Good job ucla especially Lauren
An SC fan, but UCLA so well deserved champs. Congrats! Maybe Geno can see how to lose with respect.
USC’s roster looked like me with wigs
YES 💙💛
GO BRUINS ❣️👍🤙
Good for UCLA! What a dominate performance !!!
