It took a nearly perfect game by UCLA to stay in it, and it still lost. They had 6 days to prepare for that game with a good defensive coach.

The Bruins were lights out from the field – it’s not like they were hitting a ton of open, uncontested shots on the way to a 58% night – there were few big mistakes, and everything was dropping from three against a defense that’s great at bothering the outside shooters.

UCLA didn’t have any answer for 6-10 Drew Timme going all Tim Duncan on the inside, and there’s no accounting for Jalen Suggs.


All five main men can score, Timme has taken his game up a few notches, and the team continues to win even with Corey Kispert being more steady than take-over-sensational – if you can call averaging 17 points in the tournament just okay.

Gonzaga has no issues getting on the move with Baylor and they get easy buckets.
The Bulldogs will win the battle on the boards, on the free throw line, and coaching on Monday night. Take the Zags!
