The Bruins are heading to the Elite Eight after a 88–78 upset win over the SEC champion Crimson Tide in overtime on Sunday.
The No. 11 seeded Bruins were able to hang around the entire game thanks to a balanced scoring effort from nearly their entire rotation. Six UCLA players ended the game with double digits in the scoring column but were led by sophomore Jaime Jaquez Jr. with 17 points.
The No. 2 seeded Tide's Jahvon Quinerly lead all scorers with 20 points but only shot 8-for-22 from the field. The entire Alabama team struggled to find its shot, though.
