LOS ANGELES — Top-ranked UCLA is headed to Indiana this weekend for a pair of games where the undefeated women's team will find reminders of Hall of Fame coach John Wooden in his home state. Wooden led the UCLA men's teams to a record 10 NCAA championships. He died at age 99 in 2010. The Bruin women play at Indiana on Saturday and at Purdue, which is Wooden's alma mater, on Tuesday. They are sure to face noisy crowds in Bloomington and West Lafayette given the state's well-known love of basketball. UCLA is undefeated at 14-0.
