Maya Sugarman didn't even pick her alma mater, UCLA, to win. When they beat SMU, her colleague was there to catch the reaction.

UCLA beat SMU 60-59 yesterday on a rare goaltending call with 13 seconds remaining, to push 11th-seeded UCLA to the upset.

Nobody was more surprised than KPCC photographer Maya Sugarman, but nobody was more prepared than her colleague, KPCC reporter Jed Kim, who not only caught the whole thing on his iPhone, but had it in slo-mo mode to capture Maya's jubilant, ponytail-flying victory dance.

Watch the video here! And then listen to Maya tell Off-Ramp host John Rabe about the moment.
