UCLA might be further depleted when they take on Gonzaga in Las Vegas in the NCAA tournament Sweet 16, but both teams know it'll still be another classic.
“Yesssssss!” Morrison bellowed, drowning out his broadcast partner. “Yesssssss! Yesssssss!”
What’s next? CBS broadcasters Kevin Harlan, Dan Bonner and Stan Van Gundy are undoubtedly hoping for another classic finish Thursday night at T-Mobile Arena when second-seed UCLA faces third-seed Gonzaga in a West Regional semifinal.Amari Bailey has developed into a bona fide star for UCLA, as showcased in the team’s NCAA tournament victory over Northwestern.
There will be no fear but plenty of loathing in Las Vegas. Much of the hostility will belong to the Bruins given they have lost to the Bulldogs in each of the last two years, including a 20-point rout on this same court in November 2021. Gonzaga also prevailed in the only other NCAA tournament meeting between the teams, a 12-point victory in a 2015 regional semifinal, and holds a 5-2 all-time record against UCLA.
Those who believe in the power of symmetry might favor the Bruins. Thursday is the 17-year anniversary of the UCLA’s comeback from 17 points behind during that regional semifinal against Gonzaga in Oakland, and oddsmakers have given the nod to the Bruins by making them two-point favorites.
