Yeah great game I agree, it was a classic. Fews coached way too many games to coach how he did with a minute left. It was awful, just like Campbell getting a three off with 1 second left there, should of happened, he couldve called a to eout told the guy to miss it, and then UCLA has to throw a full court heave if they even get a shot off, Few was awful truthfully.

Give us UCLA-Gonzaga every season, please!

6:46 This seems to be where the game started to slip through UCLA's fingers. Gonzaga's Watson (#22) has his shot blocked and UCLA's Nwuba (#14) gets a hand on the rebound with a chance to take possession and go up 14 or 15 points. But instead of grabbing the rebound, Nwuba looks like he's trying to tap the ball to Campbell (#10). But this allows Timme (#2) to get to the ball, and turn it basically into a 4-point play for Gonzaga. The Bulldogs destroyed the Bruins on the boards, and this play is exhibit A as to why. Gonzaga was hustling, going hard after every ball.

Timme is a beast... passer, big man and scorer

Kudos to both teams, fans, and coaches. Very impressive effort, amazing athletes!

What an exciting game! I'm impressed with Timme, but I have to agree with the UCLA bench about his travels. There were a good 3 or 4 plays where he shuffles his feet or changes pivot feet with no travel calls. This game is the definition of an exciting March Madness game.

When his defender his shoving his legs and his pivot foot moves 2inches or so it’s either called a defensive foul (Timmie gets hacked no calls 80% of time in the post) or the ref let’s the slight travel go. You can’t just body an offensive player like the ucla guys were and not expect and foul or a travel. Pick your poison buddy

Aside from the blessing-and curse-this game was: imagine getting outrebounded 34-11 in the 2nd half and going more than 11 minutes without a basket and thinking “hey let’s put in a slow footed 6’2 guard who’s 2/27 from 3 to take some of the load off” Cronin’s stubbornness may be worse than Matt Painters. Fitting Bruins are going to the Big10

Oh 1000000% it’s bugged me especially seeing Peyton Watson go ballistic the other day on defense in the NBA. For a defensive coach, what is he doing playing a guy who’s hobbled and out of shape and undersized. Don’t know if Cronin can ever get it done.

Main takeaway from this game is just how good this UCLA team is. They are probably the best team in the country. It took Gonzaga, the nation’s best offense, a desperate three point shot 5 feet beyond the three point line to beat a UCLA squad without its two best defenders and 40% of its starting lineup. We’re talking about the best defender in the country (Clark) and conference freshman of the year (Bona). We all know what happened the last time a team squeezed out a narrow win over these Bruins without Bona and Clark. They lost to a #15 seed in the first round.

Both will probs play overseas, play the game they love at a professional level, and make good money doing it. Good on Timme. And 22 is a normal age for a college player who stays all 4 years.

The last 2 minutes of this game had me on pins and needles

Stunning that UCLA was even able to claw back and even take the lead after being down 9 points with just a minute left. It was perfect execution until the last play. Would have been a similar comeback to 2006 but the only difference was in 2006, UCLA pressed on the last possession and didn't let Gonzaga get a shot off
