Key stat of tournament: UCLA is the second team since the 2011 VCU Rams to reach the Final Four after playing in the First Four.
In a dramatic back-and-forth game, the Bruins saw the Wolverines miss three pretty good looks late, any of which would have flipped the outcome. Johnny Juzang once again shined for UCLA with 28 points on 11-of-19 shooting, and he’s the Most Outstanding Player of the East Regional as well.

First Round: Defeated No. 16 Norfolk State 98-55
Second Round: Defeated No. 8 Oklahoma 87-71
Third Round: Defeated No. 5 Creighton 83-65
Fourth Round: Defeated No. 6 USC 85-66
KenPom rating: 1 Overall, 1 Offense, 7 Defense
Leading scorer: Corey Kispert (19.0 ppg)
Key stat of tournament: Gonzaga has outscored their opponents by 96 points through four games, an average margin of victory of 24 points.
The Zags did what the Zags do, mauling the Trojans and holding top NBA Lottery pick Evan Mobley and his teammates to just 24-62 from the floor on Tuesday night. It was a 40-minute layup line for Gonzaga as Drew Timme scored a game-high 23 points, while Corey Kispert and Jalen Suggs each added 18. Suggs also had 10 rebounds and eight assists, nearly going for a triple-double.
Gonzaga is looking to become the first time since the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers to win the national championship as an undefeated side, and will be heavily favored to do so at the Final Four.
