Betts and the rest of coach Cori Close\u2019s squad is coming off a 2024-25 season in which they gave the Bruins<\/a> its most successful year yet. UCLA went all the way to the 2025 NCAA Final Four, which was the first time the program had reached the stage, and it was the consensus overall No. 1-ranked squad throughout the nation. They finished the campaign with an overall record of 34-3 (16-2 Big Ten).<\/p>\n

Lauren Betts will be returning to the UCLA Bruins for the 2025-26 season due to her college life<\/p>\n

In an article published by college basketball writer Aishwarya Kumar on ESPN in Feb. of this year, Lauren Betts confirmed that she will be returning to play out her senior stint of collegiate hoops in the 2025-26 season with the UCLA Bruins.<\/p>\n

Betts was asked for the reasoning behind her decision. She said she wants to live out her college life to the fullest.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollege is the best years of your life, and so I don\u2019t think I\u2019d ever give that up. Why not be spoiled for a whole another year? The way the coaches take care of us in this program, like, how comfortable I am here, and I think that the friendships I\u2019ve created. I\u2019d want to do that for another year,\u201d Betts was quoted<\/a> as saying.<\/p>\n

Betts, who finished her junior year of college hoops in the 2024-25 campaign, will turn 22 this October, meaning that she would\u2019ve already been eligible to be drafted into the WNBA despite not exhausting four years of collegiate basketball. Betts was originally projected to be a top selection in the draft should she have declared, but will now look to give UCLA its first NCAA title.<\/p>\n
