It’s such a shame that a full crowd couldn’t be there for a game like this. One of the best games I’ve ever seen
Still felt the energy. Such an incredible game!
Never know tho. Sometimes the fans can change things so maybe we dont even get this ending with fans. We just gotta appreciate it when we do
A lot of people are saying this , but that was hands down the best college game I've ever seen before as well. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell that to idiot who eat Bat in China!
You ain't never lied I was on the edge of my seat the entire game...
UCLA should be extremely proud of the game they played. They gave Gonzaga more than they expected. No one likes to lose but in this lose great pride can still come to the surface of their hearts. What a game.
UCLA absolutely showed up. They were an 18 point dog, and just won this thing.
UCLA defied all expectations even to get to this game, then IMO played better against Gonzaga than they did in their prior wins, only to lose on a desperation half-court shot by the top player in the country. They have nothing to hang their heads about. Hats off to both teams and Suggs (representing the Twin Cities)! Now I hope Gonzaga can take down Baylor...
Remember UCLA almost lost to Michigan state in the play in game.. crazy, that's Why it's called March Madness
this was easily gonzagas hardest game of the season which is crazy to think about
@@cb7846 absolutely crazy. They beat so many good teams to get there and they almost made it to the ship. The whole starting 5 for ucla will be back j think and that's scary
Ain't no one gonna talk about that clutch 3 by Jaquez? That was insane.. literally (almost) saved the game for UCLA
Jaime is the truth been a fan of his for years he is from the 805..i always root for local kids...side note he has a sister that’s really A Great player ...
Ain’t no one gonna talk about that clutch charge timmie took at the end of regulation? Saved the zags the game
A lot of great plays and big threes in this game. But, come on, nothing can come close to that Suggs game winner. That's on another level.
@@BobLambeth agree wit you ..but I don’t agree with the charge call let them play at that point in da game!!
@@deroldjohnson9110 He missed anyway
One of the all time greatest games I’ve ever watched. This is gonna get played on this channel later on
@Joe Smith bút in a final four thát crazy you Ưilliams nè vẻ sê a 4 game ưinner
This might be one of the greatest NCAA game I’ve seen in a long time
No I just watch the greatest game ever
I feel for you UCLA fans truly one of the great cinderella runs came up just short
my heart is broken but I'm proud of our boys, played with heart
It is a great journey for UCLA, but what about Butler with back-to-back Final Fours?
@@drumsofberk oh for sure, this wasn’t the greatest underdog run but it has to be up there literally no one saw them pushing the zags to the limit like they did or beating Michigan
Yea, but we feel like Cinderella dumped us and climbed on Gonzaga’s bandwagon with that last second bank! May luck stay with them through the tournament, it would hurt even more if Gonzaga lost in the championship game and left us UCLA fans wondering what UCLA could have done 😭 Good luck Gonzaga 👍🏾
@@CesarGarcia-du5wd baylor is a whole different animal zags gotta bring their Agame no doubt
Like if this was the best game of the ‘20-‘21 year.
Florida vs Virginia Tech was really good too
@@tylermeinhold6384 as a florida fan it was awesome but this game was just all around better
@@greysonrosenblatt9152 For half a second I read the first four words as "as a Florida Man" Sorry
@@sudoku0095 90% of the time "Florida Man" is from the Northeast. Nutjobs from NY, NJ, or other places like that. People fleeing their troubles up North and coming to Florida
I was the “official clock” for this game and it was UNBELIEVABLE to be that close for this game.
At the half, Kenny Smith said he felt like whoever has the last possession was gonna win this game.
Yeah they say that almost every game
@@sNNNNNable yeh but on some real stuff doe both teams was really scoring almost every possession which ever team had the ball.
@@BraylinCarroll yeah was a dope game
@@Grateful2Exist no way really ?
which is why he is captain obvious
This game and that shot are the definition of iconic. We gon be telling our kids we watched this game
No way it was as good as 1983
@Joe Smith did you not see the ending
@Joe Smith your probably a UCLA fan but just bc they lost doesn’t mean it was a bad game
Not really, this not the NBA. Who cares about NCAA?
@@hax0rbugan670 in many areas college ball is much more popular and followed than nba ball.
One of the all-time best tournament games!
@Joe Smith Thanks Cliff
@Joe Smith Thanks Cliff
@Joe Smith not really only a few a year and in Final 4, a very small amount
@Joe Smith since 1972, but nice try
This was UCLA'S Rocky vs. Gonzaga's Apollo Creed I. The underdog takes it to the champ with everything he's got, and the champ returns the favor in kind. The champion survives, but both men win the hearts of everyone who watched. Sports don't often follow movie scripts, but when they do, it's magic. Kudos to Gonzaga & UCLA for putting out a classic.
Ucla PLEASE do not hold your head down. One of the greatest performances in a long time. Every last one of you are winners. Great job Gonzaga.
@Joe Smith you are so lost buddy go get a clue please
Juzang earned himself a spot in the nba this tourney. He’s a special player
So did Timme
@@Jnwora13 lol they both cant make it
Timme, Juzhang, Suggs and Jaquez jr. Need to enter the draft. Their stock is up!
Nah juzhnag needs to bulk up,and he isn’t athletic at all.
@@jackeroo75 He still put up insane numbers and kept UCLA in this game the entire time. I agree he shouldn’t leave tho
@@lukenordholz615 Juzang should most definitely leave, arguably the best player in the tournament and put UCLA on his back
Suggs is basically guaranteed a draft spot after that final shot.
Suggs is entering the draft
Greatest game I ever seen in college history. Bruins fan till the end . Good game ZAGS 👌👍
Ty
UCLA has DUDES! be proud!
Thank you Bruins, what a game. Cronin is going to build a monster out there.
@@TheSteve1126 wow even Vince watched
@Joe Smith it was the greatest game though regardless of who he likes
Someday I will tell my future grandkids I was lucky enough to witness this game. Go ZAGS
@Joe Smith Are you calling me a bandwagoner? I've been a fan since I was a kid (30 yrs ago). Been going to games since before I can remember and played under the bleachers. My fav GU player was Jim McPhee
UCLA entire team was talented and had amazing chemistry! I was upset when they didn’t win and I’m not even from the west coast or go to a west coast school but BOTH TEAMS DID AMAZING! What a game! UCLA should be proud of themselves.
I can't recall a better basketball game. From start to finish. Everybody showed up and came to ball. Beautiful.
Congrats Gonzaga, one of the best games I've ever seen! Nail biter, the greatest ending too, What a shot! See ya Monday... Thanks 😊
This one should go into “full March Madness games” playlist. It’s worthy.
Pretty sure that's the first time Nance's voice has ever crackled while announcing
Next to the Seahawks beating Green Bay in NFC championship, this is right there on finishes.
Seattle won because they won a coin flip
UCLA have always been the underdogs it's our nature and with that we have 11 championships in Basketball more than anyone and this is a learning step for these young players what a great game with full heart displayed. LETS GO BRUINS 2022!! 💯
To bad the other Ball brother went to the NBA instead of one and done at UCLA....
Great job on your season this year but you do know that 10/11 of those titles were fake ones and cheated. John Wooden was your coach back then that got your 10 titles. Sadly he cheated.
@@ii_tfnwrmarmy7564 how did he cheat?
The Greatest game I ever watched
@Joe Smith let people enjoy things
@@Y.d.o.b.o.n I understand it, though. People in the Internet age are obsessed with witnessing history and make silly claims all the time "GOAT, greatest ever," etc. Not a big deal, though.
the nuance on that pass by Suggs at 40 is incredible. He had to lead the field, spin the ball to bounce ahead, and hit the floor where it would come up into where no one was yet. He nailed it perfectly and no one had to adjust and the defense couldn't. All while he was running himself. That's all completely intuitive at speed. A pool shot on the run.
Whenever I feel down, I will watch this to feel better!
I watch the 2006 game, but I don't cry.
we lost in the championship tho
If Gonzaga beats Baylor by double digits, this UCLA-Gonzaga game will go down as the real Championship game.
I think it already has. Even if its a last second game winning shot on Monday, not much can come close to being as hot as this one.
baylor gonna be zags by 15 my guy
@@nathangramling3638 It's all about match-ups. Baylor fits Gonzaga play style better, but Baylor looked really good last game.
Love the fact that the last 57 seconds took 57 seconds instead of 20 minutes. These are the most exciting finishes when the players on the court decide the game without a zillion timeouts, fouls, stoppages or monitor reviews that usually cause the last minute of a game to drag out endlessly and kills the drama.
Suggs is GOATED ! This was an amazing game. Both sides played their heart out 👏🏽
It was nothing more than a lucky bank-shot, he had overshot the rim. Let's get real about this. And Timme was tippy-toeing when he received the charge call, which means that it should have been a blocking called with two free throws. It was horrendous officiating, when it mattered most. This game Never should have gone into overtime.
@@moneyfindersllc6236 ok mr los angeles. look at uclas coach talking after the game. he was literally talking about that charge and was even talking good stuff about the refs even if the call wasn't the perfect call. can't you just appreciate a really close game where no one expected it with a great ending shot? of course an almost half court shot will have luck in it
@@davidschauer8861 Yeah, the reffing had some questionable calls but it was for both sides, as a UCLA fan though hearing people call Suggs “goated” and the best player to ever touch a college basketball court is annoying af. The guy got only 16 points and hit a lucky bank shot from half to win, not a “goat” by any means. Juzang has played far better than Suggs for pretty much the entire tournament.
@@davidschauer8861 NO He didn't, why do you have to lie?? What the coach said is that he would have to review it at a later point in time. Anytime anyone has to lie to make their point invalidates it on any and all levels. Especially when they start out by calling someone names.
@@moneyfindersllc6236 kzhead.info/sun/YLt6fcqjpqWaq3k/bejne.html wanna watch this whole video then? he says the refs definitely tried their best even if they made a wrong call which he hasn’t looked back on yet. lol sorry that i “LIED”
absolutely beautiful basketball. pure and electric. an incredible display from both teams. what a pleasure to watch!!!
This is why the Zags are #1 from preseason till right now. And one day and 40 minutes away from a National Championship. I waited 17 yrs for this. Hopefully they can do it. Them & Baylor will be a great game. Thanx for posting this.
They got bailed out by the refs let’s be honest ucla would have won if not for the help
@@adambruins no they didn’t what are you talking about😂😂
@@adambruins lol always one guy who blames the refs. What are you talking about? The charge that was a charge? The game was called fairly.
The refs had nothing to do with game. It was alot of bumpin and physicality goin on both ways it was called fair 2 me. Don't do that 2 Gonzaga.
Baylor will win they d'd up
I’m 21 years old, best game Ive ever watched in sports, period.
THIS IS THE GAME OF THE YEAR
Hold on year ain't over yet we still got the NBA playoffs and the NCAA championship. I kinda doubt they can beat this though.
As UCLA fan and alum -- Congrats to the Zags.
Best semifinal in many years
Ballers know that years of practice, years of skill, blood, sweat, and tears help to create a place where skill and luck can meet. To not give Gonzaga and UCLA credit for an amazing game seems like a travesty to me. When a guy practices a shot everyday and then makes it in the game it’s not just luck. Suggs form was spot on (20:36), his momentum carried him (and the ball) into a bank shot. Planned that way? No. Pure luck? No. Skill & luck are involved sometimes. But ballers create more of those moments via hard work. These guys have devoted their lives to their craft. Beautiful game.
Well said!
SUGGS IS A TOTAL STUD!!!! CANT WAIT TO WATCH HIM IN THE NBA AND NFL
?
@@Letthat wow.. thanks. i kinda figured after reading ur comment but i had no idea.. what position foes he play in football?
No chance he would ever make the NFL. 50 QBs better. Would you rather be a #1 NBA pick or a practice squad QB? Hmmmm tough choice. Plus he chose BBall and didn't even play college football. He cant play in the NFL.
I still can get nervous and still feel my stomach turning as I am watching the replays. #GOZAGS Best game ever!
I watched this live and I went insane
Seeing the UCLA players huddle together one last time just mere seconds after the crushing defeat always gets to me ❤ .. it’s easy to come together when things are great, but true character is shown when things don’t go your way
Man what a game
Way to go Gonzaga. From a Washington native. Going to the final Dance.
Usually I would root for UCLA living in California the last 30 years but had to go for Gonzaga. You hate to see either one of these teams exit. This is what March Madness is all about.
As a UNC fan, we have been there. Nobody lost that game. Sadly one team had to win. One of the best games I’ve ever seen
This will deserve a deep rewind from SB Nation/Secret Base!
If it doesn't get one I will be shocked
Probably gonna have to wait a few years. They don’t do stuff that recent usually.
Timmie was huge for the zags tonight
Drew timmie 👍💯 NBA player.
Ayayi kept us in it in the first half
Mr. Timothy!!! 💪💪💪
Timme.
This game is an instant classic! SO glad I watched. LOTS of talent on both teams.
This was one of the most fun games I’ve ever watched
UCLA did all of this and we had 4 injured players that weren't playing in the tourney! Just an incredible story.
What a game. What a finish. I enjoyed every minute of it
UCLA has won so many titles that I had to pull for Gonzaga.

Games like this are exactly why I believe March Madness is the greatest sporting event held every year. Other sports can have drama, but no other sport has a playoffs with 64 teams and as much drama. And no other yearly sport has kids that show such emotion, whether they win or they loose. They really do leave it all out on the court. It is inevitable that sooner or later, schools will begin to pay college athletes over and above the pay they already get in the form of full scholarships. When that happens, it is my view that these kids will not have to try as hard with the strong desire to reach the level where they get paid for playing as they will already be getting paid. Then you will see less and less of moments like this.
WOW 😳, what an unbelievable game! Both teams made play after play, one of the best games I've seen in many years..hats off to UCLA, that was their 3rd OT game of the tournament, plus they had to play one extra game- they played a brilliant game...but, Gonzaga proved that they are for REAL!! Jalen Suggs is a star, an NBA top 2 or 3 pick- that shot to win was special. Drew Timme was huge, 20+pts in 4 of the 5 tourney games, he took the charge from Juzang at the end of regulation- then scored first 6pts for Zags in OT. Now, the matchup most people wanted in the championship game- #1 Gonzaga vs #2 Baylor. Could be another classic game, go Zags!
Legendary
What heartbreak for those kids and fans of UCLA! But that’s the life of March madness (and pretty much every sport). You dish out elimination and heartbreak one game just to have the same dish returned to you soon afterward!
Yup UCLA upset Gonzaga in the final minute in 2006. Alot times whoever wins is the just the one that was on fire that night.
I live in LA---------------have NEVER been a Bruins fan------------but i must say, BOTH teams played their hearts out . KUDOS to all.
We just witnessed an all time great game at any level!
Although it didn't go the Bruins way this time, this game was reminiscent of the UCLA - zags game over a decade ago (when the Bruins ripped the heart out of Morrison) in leaving of an indelible memory/imprint on bball history. Grateful I got to witness both
High-level hoops play from both teams. Amazing game.
The block, the steel, fast break bounce pass and the dunk all in one possession that’s crazy
Ain't over yet!!! CMON ZAGS!!!

everyone on press row yells Oh at the same time! it was incredible!
Really good game! Gonzaga just different but much respect to the bruins!! That UCLA team has a lot of fight and talent on their team and well coached by Cronin. Bright future ahead and there gonna be a top 10 team next year with Juzang and Jaquez coming back.
No way Juzang comes back unfortunately for us, but great for him.
@@the.seagull.35 that charge still real questionable
@@basketballegend2 ummm not questionable at all ... you’re objectively is the only thing that is questionable 🤣
@@basketballegend2 not at all it's just a great play
Definitely one for the ages!
What a run by Juzang and the Bruins. Man if Juzang scored at the end of regulation. What an ending tho.
Juzang fail to reconize the defender was going to setup the charge and played more under control. A stop and shoot, would have been a better option than taking the ball to the hoop. Getting foul would have the better out come and shooting free throws 90 % shooter ,,,
0:29 I LOVED THAT MOMENT
Yes! And after-Cronin licking his lips with that look on his face like...wow they’re all so poised. Amazing right hooks by the Bruins tonight, stunning display of poise by both teams. But Gonzaga must seal the season with the crown for this jewel to shine its best.
One of the greatest NCAA tourney games ever played. It is my belief that Cronin and Few should agree to an annual home & home series. Few is reluctant to play Zona cuz his former top assistant coaches their now. He hates coaching against deep personal buddies.
Incredible game🏀
Excellent basketball game
Epic!!!❤️
Just an awesome shot in what was an awesome game!
Never thought a guy named Timme would be a good basketball player
Everything is possible thru you god !
Drew.....
0:29 greatest sequence ever
Wow! What a game.
Maybe the best big college basketball game ever played.
Amazing.
I've seen passes this year by jalen suggs that I've only ever seen legends make
When it takes a half court 💣 to end the game u know just how good it was
Got unlucky with that charge call at the end of regulation also good attempt to draw a foul tho
*Drew Timme got that Dirk DIggler 'Boogie Nights' Swag*
Right up there with Virginia v Purdue two years ago
I think people forget that not only did Suggs block Riley's shot clean, but he also rebounded the ball then went like a bullet-train and at half-court made a perfect bounce pass at full-stride amongst four UCLA players that were back on defense already and Timme made a great catch and stuffed it. Might be the play of the entire tournament, NO CORRECTION, it WAS the play of the entire tournament. Watch it again and tell me no. Might be one of the best sequences I have seen in College Basketball in 10 years.
Avid fan of Gonzaga University Bulldogs. Go Zagsssss!
beautiful
Instant classic! Best tourney game since '92 Duke-Kentucky
Closing secs, just cover the line of sight of the shooter. Woww... classic.
