UCLA Edges Michigan to Complete Run From First Four to Final Four

UCLA was down five points with 89 seconds to go against Michigan State in the First Four.

Now, the Bruins are headed to the men's Final Four.

UCLA completed its miraculous run through the East Region with a 51–49 victory over No. 1 seed Michigan. The Bruins, who spent Selection Sunday sweating after losing their last four regular season games, are headed to the Final Four for the first time since the program's run of three straight that ended in 2008.

This was a gritty, defensive-minded affair that harkened back memories of head coach Mick Cronin’s days at the helm of the Cincinnati men's program.
