The college sweethearts Nina Earl and Russell Westbrook enter the Pauley Pavilion once again to cheer for the UCLA ladies. The matchup showed the spectators the formidable Bruins in their complete glory as they took over the California Baptist completely. The game that ended with UCLA leading 84-55, must have definitely given the couple a flashback of how it was when they were on the other side of the floor.
The official Instagram page of Just Womens Sports broke the news to their followers. They added the caption, “Former UCLA stars Nina and Russell Westbrook are in the house.” In the photo, Russell is talking to his wife whom he also met on the same grounds at the University of California, Los Angeles. While not much is known about Nina’s basketball career, fans do know that she was an essential part of the Bruins ladies back in the day.
