Last ones dancing.

No. 1 seed UCLA women’s basketball (37-1, 18-0 Big Ten) trounced No. 1 seed South Carolina (36-4, 15-1 SEC) 79-51 Sunday in Phoenix to take home its first-ever NCAA national championship.

Hoisting their new hardware, the triumphant Bruins danced their way back to Westwood to hang a new basketball banner in Pauley Pavilion for the first time since 1995.
