It’s always a classic when Gonzaga and UCLA play each other in March Madness. Great exciting game last night.

[rylian]

Man, everyone is underselling Gonzaga this year.

[johnpeppers]

I'm a Gonzaga fan but have to agree Nowell was incredible! What a great night of basketball.

[soulsborne]

More impressive is Markquis Nowell is 5 foot 8

[KINGELZ]

Greenberg be obsessed with these NY guards 😂

[bobfttw]

Connecticut has played the best basketball in this tournament overall. I thought the elite 8 was where this team might be a bit in over their heads but after what they did to one of the best defenses in the tournament in Arkansas it has to be said that they can win this whole thing.

My bracket is officially dead. All my picks for the Final Four are gone.

[jackdamenace]

Following the tournament this year has been disappointing as a Villanova fan. 😂

[jolteon]

they gotta talk about my man timme fr!

[kermitefrog]

Hey, Jimmy Kimmel who beat UCLA? Gonzaga University Bulldogs from Spokane Washington. 😂LOL. So, Jimmy a non-existent team just beat your UCLA Bruins; Gonzaga 79, UCLA 76.

[jbutler]

1)Not being able to pronounce Jaquez’s name
2)Incorrectly saying UCLA was stripped on their last possession (it was Michigan St)
3)Calling them Kansas instead of Kansas St

Pretty clear SAS is in over his head when it comes to college basketball

This is a Rebuilding year for the Zags.... expected to make the tourney and that is it. Most disjointed Zags team in 10 years.

[tlcpb]

Mollywood will be happy UConn was mentioned

[Hooderaw]

Nothing epic about gonzaga win. They haven't been a mid-D1 team for over decade. Now, we expect them to win.

[BrandonGonzalez-monz]

Sorry Zags but this is the end of the line

[jonathanwrehe]

SAS is so incredibly biased he hates the big 12 and doesn’t respect people outside east coast or west coast. It’s like he is all locked in to nba and doesn’t pay any attention whatsoever to the middle of the country. He barely mentions Kansas state and calls them Kansas acting like Michigan state and Tom Izzo just made mistakes. 😂like Kansas state wasn’t yeh better team and just scored 98 points!😂🙄

[buzybiskit]

they out in next round. the football format is asinine.

[rakenbake]

“Epic” is not the word I would use…The Bruins were down 2 starters and if you watch basketball, you would be aware of the impact a player like Jaylen Clark has and what his impact on this game would have been. It was a good game and fun to watch.

[jameswatson]

Ha ha a fellow new Yorker beat Stephen a

[donaldlewis]

UCLA coach don't tell his team to do full court press on Gonzaga with 12 seconds left, they allow Gonzaga to come up the court with out checking the man in the back court, giving Gonzaga plenty of time to shoot the winning basket
