WATCH: $82.1 million-worth Russell Westbrook and wife Nina in attendance for No. 2 UCLA women's first-round game in March Madness

The UCLA Bruins are looking to dominate the NCAA Tournament as the No. 2 seed in their region.

Former UCLA Bruins men's basketball player and current LA Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook was seen in the crowd in LA alongside his wife, Nina to catch the UCLA women in action in the first round against California Baptist.

Here's the video:

Westbrook was part of the UCLA Bruins from 2006-08 and had an excellent collegiate career.

He was a member of the Pac-12 All-Defense team and the NCAA All-Region. He was drafted fourth overall in the 2008 NBA draft and has a net worth of $82.1 million, according to Forbes.

While his team is in Los Angeles, preparing to take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday afternoon, Russell Westbrook continues to recover from a broken left hand.

Can the UCLA Bruins win the 2024 Women's National Championship?

The UCLA Bruins are one of the top programs in women's college basketball. They are the second seed in their region. However, they are considered a massive underdog to win the national championship and cut down the nets.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the UCLA Bruins have the 10th-best odds to win 2024 March Madness, at +5000. They have a game in the Round of 32 against the seventh-seeded Creighton Bluejays. The bracket for the Albany 2 Region has been chalky, as only the 11th-seeded Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders were the higher seed to win.

One possible hurdle in the UCLA Bruins' track is top seed Iowa Hawkeyes in the Elite Eight. While UCLA has been scoring 77.7 points per game, it's difficult to envision them being able to keep up with the Hawkeyes and Caitlin Clark offensively.
