Bruins missing the defensive player of the year nationally (by some polls) and freshman of the year Bono (in PAC 12). Just my opinion, but having watched at least 25 UCLA games this year, I think Bruins easily win this with their full roster.
Cronin is a great recruiter and coach. I think UCLA will be top 3 most years in the BIG Ten.
Cronin did not double Timme and it cost him. Why didn't UCLA play Timme like Edey from Purdue. Stop him and the Zags are done.
Gonzaga completely choked this one away - blew a 10 point lead in 2:30. Then won on a logo three.

If UCLA never plays in Vegas again, it'll be too soon for them
What a crazy ending!

UCLA vs. Gonzaga has become the most entertaining rivalry in college basketball.

Unbelievable. Like Suggs shot 2 years ago
That shot by Tyga was so so close.
Helluva game to close out a day of pretty great ones.

I can’t believe that Few drew up a play for a 35-foot attempt for the win.
"DAMNIT JULIAN.... THAT'S AN AMAZING SHOT."
Wow another crazy ending to a Gonzaga-UCLA battle. Awesome
That was the same play Nova used to beat UNC in the 2016 final.
Which is worse… having a “fake comeback” fall short, or completing the comeback only to have an Ill-advised shot from the logo beat you?
Gonzaga did not deserve to win that game.

Yeah that ending was good
Their kryptonite was T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. 4 of their 6 losses came in that very same arena.
Some very good games tonight.

Ummm…what? UCLA went all “Illinois” in the second half. Zags absolutely deserve that W.
Gonzaga gave the game away at the end by missing free throw after free throw after free throw. The one that did go in missed so badly that it bounced up and fell through. Then when they were down one with more than enough time left to get to the hoop and either get a bucket, a foul or a rebound, they jack up an ill-advised three from the logo and it goes in.
They did everything wrong in the final two minutes and miraculously finished with more points.
We can't really say that UCLA did either. You go scoreless for nine minutes of the second have turning a 13 point lead into a 10 point deficit....not great.
But hey, a logo three with 7 seconds still on the clock... perfectly drawn up and executed.
UCONN is going to have a field day on Saturday
If they played in the B1G, they wouldn't make the Big Dance, they would be in the NIT...
