Gonzaga beats UCLA 79-76 in Sweet 16 on Strawther’s shot

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — Gonzaga and UCLA played one NCAA Tournament game that left the Zags’ star player bawling, and another game that stunned the Bruins. Julian Strawther hit a 3-pointer with 7.2 seconds left to answer a 3-pointer by UCLA’s Amari Bailey, lifting Gonzaga to a wild 79-76 win over UCLA Thursday night in the Sweet 16. “He hit a big shot and we lost.” Strawther’s shot was reminiscent of the one Villanova’s Kris Jenkins made off a drop pass to clinch the 2016 national championship — a shot that came after North Carolina’s Marcus Paige hit an off-balance 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left. “It’s just like that Jalen shot, man.” Timme had 36 points for his record 10th NCAA Tournament game with 20 points.
