OH MY GOD!!!

Celebrating Victory

In perhaps the most thrilling finish since Tyus Edney went coast-to-coast against Mizzou in 1995, UCLA scored the final 11 points in the game to eliminate Adam Morrison and the Gonzaga Bulldogs 73 -71 and advance to the Elite Eight.

There will be many great things said about this season no matter how it ends for the Bruins, but this game will be the one to hang their hat on. Trailing the entire game, they found themselves down 71-62 with just over 3 minutes to go after Morrison made two free throws. But Ben's Bruins didn't quit. Playing trademark defense and making clutch shots down the stretch the Bruins climbed from out of the abyss.

This is absolutely a game that will be long remembered in Westwood, hopefully they can ride this wave through Memphis, a team that defeated them earlier this season, and advance to the Final Four. Man what a game...
