Live Score And Update: UCLA Bruins - Gonzaga Bulldogs
The Bulldogs' path to the Sweet 16 was easier, going through North Dakota State (86-76) and Iowa (87-68) with ease. The 'Zags" sport a perfect 7-0 mark in neutral site games coming into this matchup.
On the flip side, Gonzaga saw themselves seeded at number 2 this year after finishing the season 34-2.
The downfall UCLA could have for this matchup, is their defense. Note, Gonzaga leads the nation in field-goal percentage (52.6 percent) and averages about 80.0 points per game with 41 percent in shooting from beyond the arc.
Althought their offensive may look like an underrated Kentucky B team, their defense has struggled allowing 68.0 ppg to their opponents, while shooting only 41.8 percent from the floor.
If you lineup against the Bruins' starting 5, it's bound to be dangerous. Note, all five starters are averaging scoring totals in double dights. Norman Powell leads the Bruins in points per game (PPG) with 16.5. A drop off with Issac Hamilton (10.6 ppg), and Thomas Welsh (4.0 ppg) is something to keep in mind. UCLA will need to add depth to their game against a face playing Gonzaga team tonight.
Norman Powell wanted some of the spotlight as he weighed in with his 15 points. Issac Hamilton had 13 points with seven assists, and Kevin Looney helped add another double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
UCLA Bruins - Gonzaga Bulldogs Live And Score

UCLA big man Tony Parker, lead the team with 28 points, 12 rebounds, reaching for a double-double. Bryce Alford, who nailed a remarkable nine three-pointers in their opener against SMU, racked up 22 points, with five assists.
How did they get to the Sweet 16? Well let's just say it wasn't easy. First, they defeated SMU by a score of 60-59, which was then discussed on a possible goaltending call. They then easily took down UAB, 92-75. This is UCLA's first appearance in the Sweet 16 in program history, when selected as a seed in double digits.
The UCLA Bruins have turned many haters into believers as they won two tournament games so far.
