LAS VEGAS — Julian Strawther hit a deep 3-pointer with six seconds left to answer a 3-pointer by UCLA’s Amari Bailey, lifting Gonzaga to a wild 79-76 NCAA tournament victory over the Bruins on Thursday night at T-Mobile Arena.
The Zags brought the ball up the floor and Strawther stepped into a 3-pointer, sending Gonzaga fans to their feet. Campbell’s 3-pointer at the buzzer hit the back of the rim, sending the Zags rushing off the bench and into the Elite Eight against fourth-seeded Connecticut on Saturday. The flurry of a finish started off more like a prize fight, each team taking its turn landing blows in a game of wild swings. UCLA led by 13 at the half, but Gonzaga went ahead by 10 with 2:30 left in the game with UCLA in the midst of an 11-minute field goal drought. The Bruins rallied from there to regain the lead.
