After UCLAMBB took the lead with 12 seconds left, a three-pointer by Julian Strawther lifts Gonzaga to a 79-76 win in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. MarchMadness
After an impressive first half, No. 2 UCLA falls apart in the second half of a season-ending, 79-76 loss to No. 3 Gonzaga in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.His team down by two points, UCLA’s Tyger Campbell had the ball stripped for a rare turnover and the Bruins fouled Strawther, who missed the first free throw and made the second.
By the time Jaime Jaquez Jr. made a driving layup and was fouled with 1:14 left, his team was down 72-66 and in desperation mode. His team already missing top defender Jaylen Clark because of a leg injury and girding itself for the possible absences of Adem Bona and David Singleton as they fought their own injuries, UCLA coach Mick Cronin had pointedly said on the eve of the game that he would not make any excuses if the Bruins had to take on Gonzaga severely short-handed.
There was something of an unofficial Gonzaga hex to snap, the Zags having prevailed in the last two NCAA tournament meetings between the teams in addition to the 20-point rout here last season. The Zags put up little no resistance on Jaquez drives to the basket and had trouble marking Bailey on his way to nine early points.
