Creighton coach Jim Flanery and his six seniors know the highs of pulling off a second-round women’s NCAA Tournament upset on an opposing floor. The Bluejays are also familiar with the disappointment of making an early exit. Flanery is hoping that both experiences over the past two years come in handy as the seventh-seeded Bluejays take on No.
UCLA forward Gabriela Jaquez smiles after the team’s victory against California Baptist in a first-round college basketball game in the women’s NCAA Tournament, Saturday, March 23, 2024, in Los Angeles. UCLA coach Cori Close, center, speaks with guards Kiki Rice, left, and Charisma Osborne during the first half of the team’s first-round college basketball game against California Baptist in the women’s NCAA Tournament, Saturday, March 23, 2024, in Los Angeles.
The winner of Monday’s game will face third-seeded and defending national champion LSU in an Albany 2 Regional semifinal on Saturday. “If you’re going to get stops, you’d better take them off the three-point line. I don’t know if we’re going to get into trading threes and twos. We definitely don’t want to do that,” Close said.
Close said she is hopeful that Betts could return to the lineup Monday night. Even if Betts can’t play, the Bruins have four players 6-2 or taller while Creighton’s tallest player is 6-1.
