Top-ranked UCLA handed top-ranked South Carolina a 79-51 dismantling in women's basketball, turning a marquee No. 1 vs. No. 1 showdown into a 28-point rout. The Bruins, now 37-1, held the Gamecocks (36-4) to 51 points and announced that the road to a title runs straight through Westwood.
On the diamond, No. 5 North Carolina (54-14-1) obliterated Oklahoma (43-23) 13-2, putting up a crooked number early and never letting the Sooners breathe. It was the kind of comprehensive beating that reminds everyone the Tar Heels are playing for something bigger than a regional.
In men's volleyball, No. 2 Hawai'i (28-5) dropped the first set to UC Irvine (20-8) before roaring back to win 3-1, proving again that the Stan Sheriff Center is a fortress. The Rainbow Warriors didn't panic — they just flipped the switch.
Meanwhile, Week 0 football is loaded: TCU hosts North Carolina, USC opens against San José State, NC State visits Virginia, and Hawai'i travels to Stanford. The offseason is officially over.
