UCLA had this one circled on its schedule. Ever since an 84-70 loss at the hands of Baylor in Waco last season, the Bruins were salivating at a second chance.
On Saturday, the Bruins did not waste their opportunity. Senior forward Monique Billings scored 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds, senior guard Jordin Canada added 20 points and dished out 13 assists and junior guard Kennedy Burke scored 19 as No. 8 UCLA beat No. 3 Baylor 82-68 at Pauley Pavilion.
The Bruins defense had large role to play in getting UCLA a signature top 10 on its resume.
