The fact that Gus Johnson doesn't do tourney games anymore is a damn shame. His calls were one of my favorite parts of March Madness.

+James Jackson He doesn't do them anymore because he got released in 2012ish because of a contract dispute (which is bullshit). BRING HIM BACK!!!

Farmar, Collison, Afflalo, Hollins, Mbah a Moute... man, this was a good UCLA team.

@@kyleallen1858 No they weren't, they lost, ergo they weren't better. We had the better talent, the better coach, better record, the higher seeding, and the win, which was more UCLA fighting back than Gonzaga giving it away.

"Batista with the CAAAAAATCH!" Fortunately, Batista missed the shot. If he made it, Gus probably would have exploded.

like a A-Bomb

Never felt so bad for a player in my life. He was devastated.

HEART! BREAK! CITY! Still loving this in 2019

I never get tired of watching this video. Lovin' me some of that old-time Bruin magic.

Come here to see the Bust, then see all these NBA players! Who knew at the time that UCLA could play a WHOLE LINEUP with players who'd have more success than Morrison at the next level?! Collison, Farmar, Afflalo, Mbah a Moute AND Hollins?

I remember my friend texting me when Gonzaga was up 15 or so, and saying "nice final four pick" , at the end of the game i said "thanks"

I was watching this from my dorm room at UCLA, and I remember hearing a deafening scream from every person in the building the second Mbah a Moute made that shot. It was as if the entire building just exploded.

Too bad it was scripted and you didn't know until now.

This is why I love the NCAA Tournament. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! Plus with Gus Johnson's commentary on close games, it's just the perfect game to watch. You just can't beat it.

I'm here after Jalen Suggs wins the game for the Zags

Apparently Afflalo and Hollins helped Morrison off the floor... class move, would like to have seen it.

Never, and I mean never, doubt the heart of UCLA student athletes!

If Cleveland wins the NBA Finals this year, it would be cool if it ended like this. Awesome highlight.

I guess it's better to win on the road and in that case on the same building that this moment happened. Also better to win in silence than in delirium.

Batista with the CATCH! i love how the announcer goes crazy on catch

When UCLA was down 71-68 and Gonzaga was inbounding the ball you can read Howland's lips. He was telling the Bruins, "Don't foul, don't foul!" Very smart move by Howland.

As a UCLA Alum... I could watch this video every day and not get sick of it. :) Here's to hoping we have this kind of magic in the next tournament!

I love Gus Johnson, I;ve never seen an announcer with as much passion as this guy!

I still remember watching this game late at night in my room on a school night back when I was in high school and I was yelling AND screaming OMG OMG and I woke up my dad he wasnt a happy camper LMAO! But that was a crazy finish

i keep watching this and it nevers gets old

gus johnson gets so excited. it's pretty sweet. and since i was rooting for UCLA, its was even better.

Im a die hard bruin fan i was raised a bruin and i remember watching this jumping up and down in my grandmas living room good times.. :)

Awesome video! I will always remember this game!! Thanks for sharing! Go Bruins!!

Gus johnson is the best..."heart break city"...pure joy to watch and this was a great game that contributed to my big money winning bracket in 07' along with ohio state over xavier. Thank you zags

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!Mbah a Moute is great!!!

i cry just listening to gus.. literally i cry with chills. love ittt

Best UCLA game I ever saw was one that they lost...when Notre Dame beat them and ended their 88-game winning streak back in 1974. Huge fan and even though they lost, you'll never see such a game or streak ever again.

Win or lose- Adam Morrison, that's the most genuine emotion you will ever see!!!!!

i watch this daily and cry every time.. im not a ucla or gonzaga fan - just a fan of college basketball and gus johnson just makes me cry because there is so much emotion. love it.

Every time I watch this clip, it always surprises me how the pass to Batista was not knocked down. Usually full court passes with pressure on the inbounder are tough enough, but he was covered by two defenders near the perimeter. Nice - lucky - pass and good catch. Used all the luck on the pass, of course the shot was missed :p

I could watch this over and over and over again...Hey Adam Morrison: 1,2,3, cry!

oh man i remember watching this with my brother. i swear our lungs were gone the next day haha we were screaming the whole game. one of the best comebacks i've ever seen, thanks for puttin this up, greattttttttt stuff

OMG this never gets old...still get goosebumps.

This is such a great video for so many reasons. Really captures the essence of March madness. And just think, we'll get to see more of this, this week! Side note: look at all the NBA players in this game... Farmar, Morrison, Mbah a Moute, Ryan Hollins, Collison, Afflalo, even Cedric Bozeman played a few games in the NBA.

Gus Johnson has one of the greatest voices I've ever heard!!

I was at this game and was able to sneak down to the 1st row behind the press table near the UCLA bench. The Arena at Oakland had a row of seats that weren't for sale, since that row cordoned off by a small curtain that separated us from the press. We just sat there and the ushers down there were more worried about people getting on the floor than people just sitting there. Great game, good times, can't believe it was 3 years ago already.

I can't believe that with all the talent UCLA had during this era they were not able to win a championship. Farmar, Afflalo, Mbah a Moute, Hollins, and Collison are all in the NBA and Bozeman was in the league for a little while. Goes to show how good those Florida teams really were.

Just watched this again...never gets old...GO BRUINS!

I can't stop watching this! All the way this year!

I love gus johnson! he has such an exciting voice!

with the Caaaaaaaatch! haha man that was great

Gus Johnson, Kevin Harlan are the two best announcers in the game that can make any play just absolutely exciting!!! even when Batista made the catch, Gus johnson's hollering made you believe he made the shot before it even left his hand, you were excited as heel that the catch was even made regardless of him hitting the shot, like the catch was worth points...Gus is great!

For real man, he makes the game seem so epic and real. I wish more commentators were like him

I still watch this every day! What! A! Game! As a UCLA fan I feel like I should point out that all six UCLA players who play either saw or are currently seeing significant NBA minutes (Bozeman w Atlanta is the only one no longer around). Currently we have only one who we can only hope makes it someday (Honeycutt), ouch.

I remember watching this in 8th grade. Mann... Morrison crying was all over in the newspaper.

Westbrook was a HS senior during this game.

I still remember this game... Go Bruins!!!

thank you for loading a high quality basketball clip. 95% of uploaders cant do this simple task, but you can. thank you and awesome video!

This ending was crazy & the true definition of march madness

I watch this all the time and still feels like it just happened yesterday. GO BRUINS!!!!!!!!

best line of this clip: "Heart-Break-City"

farmar to the rescue XD that was a great steal & at the perfect timing

Easily one of the best game ive ever witnessed. That night was insane. Gus Johnson calling the game also adds A LOT of excitement.

Oh my lord, I had forgotten just how insane the ending of this game really was! And Gus Johnson screaming like a maniac just adds to the helter skelter! Haha!

top 5 tourney games ever right here !!! so classic !!!

I went crazy when I watched this back in 06. Absolutely crazy.

Still one of my favorite March Madness memories and I don't even care for either team.

Adam Morrison makes my world go round. Way to take it like a man :)

gus johnson needs to do every game, he once made a houston texan game exciting

same here man and ive always been a huge UCLA fan, this is like their crowning moment in the past 5 years lol

Saw that game in person, but I saw the replay as well. Gus is the best.

The sequence that Gus stars with "LAST CHANCE TO DANCE" is incredible. No doubt the best commentator in the business.

GUS JOHNSON is the best sports play-by-play announcer EVER!! i mean for reals, just watch the games he does he makes it feel so exciting and intense

Gus hasn't had a great game to call since OSU-Xavier and A&M-Louisville on the same day back in 2007. Here's hoping that changes this year - we need some more additions to his already impressive collection.

Gus Johnson is the man! Last chance to dance! Great line!

Go Burins! Hello from yakima WA :o) have a good one

Even with our early exit this year, nothing quite cheers me up like this video and hearing the announcer scream "UNBELIEVABLE! UCLA! UNBELIEVABLE! ". True fans are in it for the good AND the bad. GO BRUINS!

Morrison knows and loves this game. its a shame he can't get a lot of minutes now in the NBA.

nobody calls a game like gus johnson

Obviously the steal by Mbah a Moute at 2:15 is a great play, but if you look closely, it looks like it was a game-saving play too. Raivio was about to look up and he would've seen Jeremy Pargo (I think that's who it is), wide open for a cut to the basket or a jumper. Still one of the best finishes I've seen to any game.

What's crazy is Jordan Farmar and Adam Morrison were teammates of the L.A. Lakers latest two NBA titles in 2009 and 2010.

you're right. it also is not clear that he completely had control of it while he slid.

@StalionItalian4 Yes this was in 2006, Sweet 16 game at the Oakland Coliseum. We went on to play Memphis in the Elite 8 after that.

I remember thinking this at the time: Afflalo should have missed the second free throw. They were out of timeouts so there's no reason to give them a chance to inbound the ball and throw a long pass, which is what happened. Make them rebound the ball in the backcourt and have to throw in a shot from 60-70 feet in less than 2 seconds. But what a game!

Priceless seeing Morrison cry that is

goosebumps

One of the greatest UCLA games ever!

arguably my favorite ucla athletics moment as an undergrad.

"Heartbreak City"...that was TOTALLY random!

Imagine if he announced with Dick Vitale, (tv watcher grabs the remote right away to turn down the volume, lol) what a great call however. The funniest thing in the arena was when the arena found out DUKE lost to LSU, everybody in the arena started cheering. Gonzaga played way too relaxed down the strech and UCLA played with a sense of urgency, that is why UCLA won and they earned it !

this is why I love college basketball and UCLA

@SuperBossman53 You can't forget Afflalo either and if you want to count Ryan Hollins too because he is also in the NBA.

This has to be the moment that Adam Morrisons career just nose dived. He looked primed to be a force in the NBA, but after this, was just completely shattered

The underrated part of this video is gus's partner "he left the door open for a miracle to occur"

@rolltidecdl: you mean the PAC-10 team thats 2-0 in the tournament this year over the BIG EAST?

"you still wanna go after the ball, like you're a cornerb-IN THE FRONT COURT, BATISTA WITH THE CAAAAATCH...AND THATS IT, WHAT A COMEBACK"

I was at this game, snuck into the first row behind the media/press tables near center court. I'm going to be one of those people you see on tv that'll be dead eventually.

WOHHHH! god easily one of the top 2 moments ever

EPIC

I still can't believe Ryan Hollins actually made almost all his free throws leading up to the National Championship. When I think about it, it makes me laugh.

best game ever!

Still gives me d-chills to see Morrison crying like a baby at the end. If I was him, I'd try to find a way to have every clip of this ending erased from the internet. What a disaster... on so many levels.

Man this UCLA team was STACKED, didnt realize it till now. Collison, Afflalo, Farmar, Hollins, Mbah a Moute=all nba players...Bozeman even spent some time in the NBA

anyone seen the xavier-ohio state video were gus johnson shouts some kind of gibberish when OSU tied it at the end?

Crazy how many of these guys are in the NBA now.

UCLA!!!! that game was sooo sickkk

@Digadog81 I felt on that 2008 team, that UCLA just didn't play to their potential in that one. They learned how to get cold so easily that game.

Here after Jalen just gamed UCLA

15 years later...

Mann... Best game ever
