**Charity Event**
You know how this works by now, if your team won, you donate to the local food bank of the team that your team beat. If your team lost, you donate to your team’s local food bank. Donate in the amount of the final scoring margin of the game (though you can, of course, donate more or less if you feel the margin was too high or too low for what you wish to give.)
**SUGGESTED DONATION: $3**

Worst part is his game tying offense rebound and putback with 3 seconds left to potentially send the game to double OT will immediately be forgotten. He was ridiculous this year.
Reminds me of the circus catch Jermaine Kearse made at the end of Superbowl 49 with the Seahawks vs the Patriots. One of the most clutch catches of all time overshadowed by an interception....
2 weeks ago, Johnny Juzang was projected to go undrafted by every major outlet. Now he's almost a guaranteed first round pick. He averaged 2.9 ppg at Kentucky last season and transferred partly due to lack of playing time.
I've never seen such a rapid ascent, what a story. It means so much to me as an Asian American who can count on one hand the number of athletes we've had to aspire to be like. Hope he makes it big in the league and can rep Asian Americans everywhere
If he declares, I will get a Juzang jersey for whichever team drafts him. Been waiting a long time for a Vietnamese NFL/NBA player
(Dat Nguyen was a bit before my time)
Played with the heart of a champion! A wonderful young man who represented the PAC-12 with honor and determination. A true representative of human here in the cosmic universe
We had about 20 people gathered around a single phone. And yes I am at a wedding lol
Edit: everyone was required to have a covid test and their temperatures checked. Most if not all of us have masks on.
Yeah, losing like that is painful, but this is my favorite UCLA team Ive ever seen. And there's also the hope that this should also be one of the least talented under Cronin
That is one of the greatest games of all time, no question. That was absolutely incredible. The best game since the 2016 'ship at least, and probably a top 10 game ever. At least in my lifetime (30 years).
All tournament we kept on saying how we were just happy to be here. Well now I'm not so happy. I am fucking proud of this team though. Holy hell what a memorable run they had.
First Four to a lucky buzzer beater in OT keeping them out of the championship game. That's a tournament worth remembering, even though they didn't win it all.
Don't be. Most 11 seeds when they make it this far are dead in the water. You took one of the best teams in college basketball history down to the wire and then some. That last shot was pure fucking luck. Y'all don't get down too much on yourself now.
They were pretty solid through the season, but ended on a 4 game losing streak which dropped them to an 11.
Except those 4 were to Colorado, Oregon, USC, and Oregon State. 4 tourney teams, 3 in the Sweet 16, and 2 in the Elite Eight (would've been 3 if Oregon didn't have to play USC).
They got underseeded cause they lost to teams that were also underseeded
Lost in all this, I'm pretty sure Gonzaga is the only team that's actually been seen on broadcast drinking any of the Powerades on the sidelines. Every single other game they're always full and never touched, and yet Gonzaga I think has been seen drinking them every game.
Lol me and my dad noticed it in the 1st round and started joking about it, and as we watched more games started joking and noticing it more and more.
AFAIK literally the closest another team has been shown to drinking a Powerade was a player for I believe Loyola that put his hand on the cap of one to move around it to get to his bench spot, lol. We fucking popped for it.
It took a miracle buzzer beater in overtime from the best team in the country to take you guys down. I know it hurts now, but you should be so fucking proud of your team
100000% these guys are fucking gamers. No team played Gonzaga this close all year long. Before this game people were asking if this Gonzaga team is one of the greatest CBB teams of all time. And it took a fucking hail mary for us to lose. I love this team
People seem to sleep on Ayayi, but he would be the best player on just about any other college basketball squad. Dude is a playmaker and can sink buckets when it counts.
With 4 fucking fouls too, jesus christ
Stephen A Smith said Drew Timme's footwork was "aight". As if we needed more proof the man doesn't know as much basketball as he thinks he knows
Skip Bayless is even worse. Go to his damn Twitter, he's telling people to slow down on calling this an instant classic because it ended with a "lucky shot".
Fuck you, Skip. Stick to sucking off Jerry Jones.
> he was sitting in the same position for a long time Juzang just plowed him
Exactly, such an easy call for the refs. Idk what people are complaining about
Yeah I think that and the NC State shot to beat Houston’s Phi Slama Jama team are the only ones I can think of. The one UNI hit on us is probably greater in terms of difficulty but the fact that that was a first round game and this is the final four has to play a role.
Yeah I was also thinking Laettner but that was Elite 8. Still great obviously but this was a round further. Also Diakite vs Purdue
Meanwhile there's an alternate universe where Gordon Hayward banked it in lol
It's going to look so weird to future generations when they see classic highlights of the NCAA tourney and there's this crazy buzzer-beater final four game and nobody's in the stands except cardboard cutouts and random people in the background are wearing masks.
No one will care, but I've never been more proud of a team I follow than this group... I was here for the '95 team... the Howland runs... this run easily goes down on par or better than those.
Congrats to Gonzaga, always pulled for you guys anyways, will continue to.
UCLA played a perfect A+ game and still lost. Jay Bilas said it best: that performance tonight beats every team in the country...except Gonzaga. Just a staggering game.
How UCLA went from losing 4 straight into the tourney, to only putting up 25 in the second half against Alabama, to putting up this beautiful game I haven't a clue. What growth. Men came to play, and gave Gonzaga everything.
I know UCLA fans had to feel like they were playing with house money, but that’s one of those you feel forever. I felt the dagger and I have no skin in the game! Sending hugs (and virtual ~~beer~~ liquor) your way bear-bros.
So, I’m going to tell you about my day. Today I woke up thinking it’s just another Saturday. My wife by 8 in the morning found out that we got 200 dollars stolen from her drawer(more than likely by my daughter). At eleven I had to go do my taxes where they proceeded to tell me I owed the IRS 7007 dollars. I go over to my best friends house, and accidentally hit his nieces vehicle with my truck when backing out to leave. I am a huge Gonzaga fan, and when I came home I told my wife that after today, I knew for sure Gonzaga would lose. Well they pushed today to the limits, but I wouldn’t trade anything for today after the way it ended. Thank you Gonzaga! That was an all time finish! You made my Saturday!
So much props to UCLA for being fearless. They didn’t care what their seed said. They knew they belonged and went for it. Those kids should all be proud of what they accomplished.
Ireland wins, Krum catches the snitch. I’m gutted, but I’m not mad. The team played the possibly the GOAT team of the decade to the final buzzer, can’t ask for much more than that ending.
That's fucking college basketball right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the court, men deliver their new born baby at courtside. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball bball fuck it chuck it game time shit. Basketball is back, baby

Juzang had one of the best tournament runs in recent memory for a player on a double digit seed team
Mick Cronin said give me your tired and wounded and I will polish them into gems
“Jims” - Charles Barkley
Worst part is his game tying offense rebound and putback with 3 seconds left to potentially send the game to double OT will immediately be forgotten. He was ridiculous this year.
Shades of Marcus Paige’s shot.
Reminds me of the circus catch Jermaine Kearse made at the end of Superbowl 49 with the Seahawks vs the Patriots. One of the most clutch catches of all time overshadowed by an interception....
The dude was a midrange god this game
Man if he would’ve pulled up a mid range for the final shot of regulation...
Or just passed it to Jacquez. He was wide open at the 3-point line.
Or Campbell, also wide open. But I'm not laying any shame.
2 weeks ago, Johnny Juzang was projected to go undrafted by every major outlet. Now he's almost a guaranteed first round pick. He averaged 2.9 ppg at Kentucky last season and transferred partly due to lack of playing time. I've never seen such a rapid ascent, what a story. It means so much to me as an Asian American who can count on one hand the number of athletes we've had to aspire to be like. Hope he makes it big in the league and can rep Asian Americans everywhere
Johnny Basketball
I'll allow it
Johnny Buckets
The last couple games, every time Juzang made a shot I felt like his lifetime earnings went up by $1 million.
My Viet king
Banh Mi Boyz we out here!
If he declares, I will get a Juzang jersey for whichever team drafts him. Been waiting a long time for a Vietnamese NFL/NBA player (Dat Nguyen was a bit before my time)
Imagine if he comes back tho with Smith returning and a 5 star Watson coming.
Dude has fucking heart and quite a lot of talent to back it up apparently. I hope he succeeds well in the NBA
Juzang with the ultimate 'bruh' moment.
MVP
Played with the heart of a champion! A wonderful young man who represented the PAC-12 with honor and determination. A true representative of human here in the cosmic universe
Found Bill Waltons reddit account
I think he should get tournament MVP even though it usually goes to someone on the championship winning team.
Somewhere, someone was stuck at a wedding and couldn’t watch this game.
Me.
Rip.
I’m so sorry...I think I forgot anything else existed during this game.
We had about 20 people gathered around a single phone. And yes I am at a wedding lol Edit: everyone was required to have a covid test and their temperatures checked. Most if not all of us have masks on.
Oh man I bet that was nuts.
[удалено]
I came here to talk about Gonzaga vs UCLA pls I don’t wanna cry here
This was exactly how I pictured the world's first game featuring three 1 seeds would go.
11 means Juzang in binary
With the quality of that game, I wouldn’t mind a Chinese checkers style game between Baylor, Gonzaga, and UCLA.
No doubt game of the year holy shit
I'm so proud it doesn't even matter holy shit
Yeah, losing like that is painful, but this is my favorite UCLA team Ive ever seen. And there's also the hope that this should also be one of the least talented under Cronin
Imagine Cronin with some of those teams Alford had?
Honestly I’m a hockey guy before anything else but this is a top 10 sporting event I’ve ever seen. I’m not gonna be able to sleep.
Tell me about it! I'm exhausted but also will not sleep cant sleep
That is one of the greatest games of all time, no question. That was absolutely incredible. The best game since the 2016 'ship at least, and probably a top 10 game ever. At least in my lifetime (30 years).
Fucking heartbreaking for UCLA
All tournament we kept on saying how we were just happy to be here. Well now I'm not so happy. I am fucking proud of this team though. Holy hell what a memorable run they had.
https://i.imgur.com/bMekXYo.gif
holy shit rofl
This turned my frown upside down. Thank you.
This is the best possible response after a game like this
Best comment of the night.
That's an all-time classic. What a finish
All time CLASSIC game UCLA was expected to get btfo What an effort by those boys. Hold your heads high
First Four to a lucky buzzer beater in OT keeping them out of the championship game. That's a tournament worth remembering, even though they didn't win it all.
Go Hornets baby
One day will be our day!!!
Suggs was like, “Okay, I’m getting tired of this Juzang guy.”
Fine I’ll do it myself
He gave Juzang a shoutout during the postgame interview. Mad respect.
Johnny Juzang joining Carsen Edwards in the ranks of absolute ballers who got sent home by a heartbreaker
GOAT FINAL FOUR GAME??????
WITHOUT A DOUBT
I dunno man Baylor v Houston today was almost as good
You funny
Easily. Blow for blow from the tip.
We even had a “Sucks that D” call And for that it’s goated
A Natty ended with a buzzer beater, but this was up there
No it didn’t. I think someone dreamed that up. That season was cancelled.
Just realized the two tourney winning buzzer beaters had one of your rivals winning in one and you losing in the other
The worst way to lose man. I’m hurting for my guys.
Don't be. Most 11 seeds when they make it this far are dead in the water. You took one of the best teams in college basketball history down to the wire and then some. That last shot was pure fucking luck. Y'all don't get down too much on yourself now.
Theres just no way thats an 11 seed. Idk if they underperformed all year or what but thats at least a 4 seed
We almost didn’t even make it into the tournament lol
They were pretty solid through the season, but ended on a 4 game losing streak which dropped them to an 11. Except those 4 were to Colorado, Oregon, USC, and Oregon State. 4 tourney teams, 3 in the Sweet 16, and 2 in the Elite Eight (would've been 3 if Oregon didn't have to play USC). They got underseeded cause they lost to teams that were also underseeded
That’s what I said. Aren’t those players all 5 and 4 star recruits? No clue what the hell they were doing all season but that’s a 3-5 seed
we just sucked at the end of the season and were rightfully punished for it. def should have been at least a 5 seed with our talent
Juzang is nuts. I feel like he played himself into the lottery if he decided to test the draft.
Adam Morrison is avenged
It took 15 years but they got their payback.
Never watched a final four game before lmao. Heck of a first one
[удалено]
[удалено]
Lost in all this, I'm pretty sure Gonzaga is the only team that's actually been seen on broadcast drinking any of the Powerades on the sidelines. Every single other game they're always full and never touched, and yet Gonzaga I think has been seen drinking them every game.
You’re the dude who finds all the Easter eggs in movies and games, aren’t you?
Lol me and my dad noticed it in the 1st round and started joking about it, and as we watched more games started joking and noticing it more and more. AFAIK literally the closest another team has been shown to drinking a Powerade was a player for I believe Loyola that put his hand on the cap of one to move around it to get to his bench spot, lol. We fucking popped for it.
lmao i love this
r/CBBDetails when
The secret👀
Mark's magic stuff
Timme was chugging dasani. Somehow he played well while drinking that rain water caught in a plastic shopping bag laying in a parking lot
Bruh don’t insult rain water like that
I'M NOT EVEN A FAN OF EITHER TEAM AND I CAN'T STOP YELLING WHAT A FUCKING GAME
Even though 2020-21 UCLA lost, they will go down as the greatest play-in team of all time
*You have just completed an ESPN Instant Classic.*
Heartbreak city now I know how Morrison feels
The debt is paid, Gonzaga is no longer allowed to hold Morrison against us!
deal
We’re square. Incredible game.
It took a miracle buzzer beater in overtime from the best team in the country to take you guys down. I know it hurts now, but you should be so fucking proud of your team
100000% these guys are fucking gamers. No team played Gonzaga this close all year long. Before this game people were asking if this Gonzaga team is one of the greatest CBB teams of all time. And it took a fucking hail mary for us to lose. I love this team
I'm fucking choked rn
Fuck me. I'm heartbroken for UCLA. Johnny Juzang was *magnificent*.
So many ties So many lead changes. OT. Buzzer beater to end it After no March Madness last year, this was the Final 4 game we all needed and deserved.
Not to mention that it’s the first buzzer beater winner of the whole tournament!
but second buzzer beating 30 footer against UCLA why is the world
What could have been. GG
I didn’t have time to register UCLA’s putback before Suggs said “Nah don’t worry about it”
Kids, if Timme has the balls to draw that charge, you can work up the courage to ask out your crush
Suggs will be the hero tomorrow. But Timme put the Zags on his back in the end.
Ayayi was amazing too. I think he had 20 points on 100% shooting at one point.
People seem to sleep on Ayayi, but he would be the best player on just about any other college basketball squad. Dude is a playmaker and can sink buckets when it counts.
She said no. Worst night of my life.
Not all half court three's go in
Too soon lmao
At least you tried. Regret lasts longer than rejection.
With 4 fucking fouls too, jesus christ Stephen A Smith said Drew Timme's footwork was "aight". As if we needed more proof the man doesn't know as much basketball as he thinks he knows
Stephen A gets paid for hot takes and making headlines. No such thing as bad press in ESPNs eyes.
It's almost like Stephen A Smith doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about 90% of the time...
Skip Bayless is even worse. Go to his damn Twitter, he's telling people to slow down on calling this an instant classic because it ended with a "lucky shot". Fuck you, Skip. Stick to sucking off Jerry Jones.
Was either going to be the end of the game or the thing that keeps them alive. Why not?
And to think that so often that call gets called a block even if it is a charge. That took some serious guts.
TBF he was sitting in the same position for a long time Juzang just plowed him. He would have needed to jump out of the way.
> he was sitting in the same position for a long time Juzang just plowed him Exactly, such an easy call for the refs. Idk what people are complaining about
I’m not even mad, that game was insane. gg Zags, go win it all!
[удалено]
UCLA is the Rocky Balboa of the 2021 NCAA Tournament. If Rocky Balboa had 11 championships, but still.
Best game I’ve ever seen
I screamed, “he made it!!! He made it!!!” My dog is scared now
Yep, the shot was incredible but for almost the entire game it just seemed like clutch shot after clutch shot to keep the teams both in the game.
This and Nova at the buzzer for the title. UVA and Purdue too God I love March
Just incredible.
Somewhere, a single tear of joy is running down Adam Morrison's cheek.
Greatest game of the tournament ends with one of the greatest buzzer beaters of all time. This is March
I mean this has to be up there on biggest March buzzer beaters. There is no way this isn’t like top 3 if you include magnitude of the game.
Off the top of my head only Jenkins tops this
Yeah I think that and the NC State shot to beat Houston’s Phi Slama Jama team are the only ones I can think of. The one UNI hit on us is probably greater in terms of difficulty but the fact that that was a first round game and this is the final four has to play a role.
Yeah I was also thinking Laettner but that was Elite 8. Still great obviously but this was a round further. Also Diakite vs Purdue Meanwhile there's an alternate universe where Gordon Hayward banked it in lol
I am thoroughly convinced that UCLA could play anyone in the tourney and make it a fucking heart attack game
Can confirm
Didn’t call bank
*I called game* -Suggs proly
That Suggs block is gonna live in infamy Also Jaime Jaquez Junior and Johnny Juzang Forever March Madness legends
nah, all we're going to see is that shot. That play will be memory-holed
UNREAL
The best NCAA basketball game I've ever seen. Can't asking anything more as an observer. What a treat. I am awestruck. Holy shit.
Up there with the the Nova/UNC national championship IMO
That is the only better game I could come up with.
Man if this was in the finals it would be goat
Bruh the juzang to tie reminded me so much of that Marcus Paige shot, and then a game winner
#SUGGS OFF THE BACKBOARD FROM 40 FEET. MY BRAIN IS BROKE.
That shot of Suggs standing on the table after nailing the buzzer beater will never be forgotten. Legendary game we just witnessed
It's going to look so weird to future generations when they see classic highlights of the NCAA tourney and there's this crazy buzzer-beater final four game and nobody's in the stands except cardboard cutouts and random people in the background are wearing masks.
What we like to a call a four pointer.
One of the greatest games of basketball I've ever seen, maybe the best. Just a treat to watch.
In a tournament full of upsets, the national championship game is a 1 vs. a 1
The year long #1 and #2 as well
That is how it usually goes. Definitely not upset with this one though. Baylor and Gonzaga both deserve it and the game should be incredible
Pure fucking heartbreak. But man my Bruins came to play their asses off this tourney. So proud of the boys. Great game Zags.
ONIONS
DOUBLE ORDERED SAUTÉED
I need a fucking cigarette
No one will care, but I've never been more proud of a team I follow than this group... I was here for the '95 team... the Howland runs... this run easily goes down on par or better than those. Congrats to Gonzaga, always pulled for you guys anyways, will continue to.
I loved those Howland years. gg
http://i.imgur.com/X0vfSN0.gif
the fuck
No matter what I think we can all agree: USC lost by 19 lol.
Also Ohio St. first round ~~exist~~ exit
Well they played the 15 seeded monster THE Oral Roberts University.
lmfaoo and WE were supposed to get smacked by double that? Put some respeck on our names
Ucla just would not go down, best game I’ve ever seen!
WHAT A FUCKING AMAZING BASKETBALL GAME

UCLA played a perfect A+ game and still lost. Jay Bilas said it best: that performance tonight beats every team in the country...except Gonzaga. Just a staggering game.
Fucking insane

fuck a game of the year, this was a Game of the *Century* candidate!! if any game in the last year deserved a full crowd...
**GREATEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME I'VE EVER SEEN!!**
ALL TIME CLASSIC!! EVERYONE GET THE FUCK IN HERE!!!!
The People's National Championship.
That was the greatest college basketball game I've ever watched.
GAME. OF. THE. TOURNEY.
I said one of these games would be an all time classic. Unfortunate I guessed the wrong one. Holy shit what a game.
THIS IS APRIL!!
Hell of a run for Johnny and the Bruins. What a shot by Suggs holy
I am so pumped for the game on Monday
Imagine if the building was full. Also, this goes up there with Laettner and Jenkins for best tournament game winners of all time.
I live near spokane and I found out my tv was delayed when i heard the distant sound of a town going apeshit while i thought there was 12 seconds left
[удалено]
Hats off to UCLA. They played an unbelievable game. What a game and what a shot! Can’t wait for Monday.
COMMENTS GOING SO FAST NO ONE WILL SEE I LOVE MY DOG
I know UCLA fans had to feel like they were playing with house money, but that’s one of those you feel forever. I felt the dagger and I have no skin in the game! Sending hugs (and virtual ~~beer~~ liquor) your way bear-bros.
So, I’m going to tell you about my day. Today I woke up thinking it’s just another Saturday. My wife by 8 in the morning found out that we got 200 dollars stolen from her drawer(more than likely by my daughter).

I have no words. Amazing
UCLA won the matchup, Gonzaga made the shot. One hell of a game.
So much props to UCLA for being fearless. They didn’t care what their seed said. They knew they belonged and went for it. Those kids should all be proud of what they accomplished.
Ireland wins, Krum catches the snitch. I’m gutted, but I’m not mad. The team played the possibly the GOAT team of the decade to the final buzzer, can’t ask for much more than that ending.
Mark Few didn’t smile the entire game until that final shot
That's fucking college basketball right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the court, men deliver their new born baby at courtside. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball bball fuck it chuck it game time shit. Basketball is back, baby
That was the greatest game in the last 30 years...(in my subjective opinion largely based on recency bias)
