No. 2 seed UCLA softball is headed to West Lafayette, Indiana, for the Big Ten tournament semifinals. UCLA will begin play Friday morning against No. 3 seed Nebraska.

Inconsistency has marred Bruin bats in recent weeks.

Free throws have haunted the Bruins all season long.
And it was no different Friday night, as a pair of misses on the front end of 1-and-1s put a victory in jeopardy.
