Sienna Betts had 16 points, seven rebounds and two assists to win the MVP award during the McDonald's All-American Game. Meanwhile, her sister, Lauren, has made it to the Final Four of the NCAA National Championship Tournament. Sienna is expected to join her at UCLA next season.

Betts chose to go to UCLA and play with her sister over South Carolina, Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, USC, UConn, Oregon, Arizona and Michigan. She admitted that she liked how the coaches treated their players there.

“For me, it [committing to UCLA] was a lot about how the coaches care about you off the court, and the coaches at UCLA, they really care about your mental health,” she said in an interview with The Flagler College Gargoyle.

“Every team that I’ve ever been on, we’ve been a family… So, they really cared about that part of basketball for me, and they showed me that on my visits and when I called to talk to them," she added.
