What this video doesn't show is Aflalo consoling Morrison after Morrison is on the floor crying. It is, without a doubt, the most sportsmanlike thing I have ever witnessed.
Westbrook was a freshman and didn't play a second in this game. Rest I'll give you though. But then again, there was a reason Gonzaga only lost 4 games that year, team chemistry is much bigger in NCAA than the NBA as compared to individual talent, the fact that UCLA made it to the title game anyway shows how overall talented this team was, any given game y'know?
i dont get why people are saying UCLA lucked out. the better team wins. ucla just showed gonzaga that you need to finish the game. Proud Bruins fan right here, LA born and raised. Even though i go to wazzu now i still root for the boys in blue
This is a game you prepare for, for your whole life. Your school's honor and pride is in your shoulders. Imagine you were just a minute away from the happiest feeling ever, and that was ripped right away from you. Not saying that Morrison doesn't get some blame, but you can't just call him a pussy for crying.
actually you are completely wrong so let me correct you. russell westbrook is not only starting for the okc thunder, he's an allstar caliber player; afflalo is the magic's best player; Mbah a Moute is a fringe starter for the Bucks & Farmar was a key bench player for the Lakers during their recent title runs.
correct me if im wrong but i believe out of the players you mentioned only one is starting these days. that being pargo. its cool though. ucla lucked out tough this game
In games like this, the team making the comeback is lauded and congratulated, but it's all about the team that let it get away. Gonzaga completely handed this game over with sloppiness, lack of focus, and complacency. There's absolutely no excuse for it. Bad, bad, bad basketball once they got up big.
Not sure what Morrison was trying to do in the last minute. You have to run out the clock even with a 35-second violation. Otherwise, a great defensive performance by UCLA.
By the way if I remember Adam Morrison was the number 3 overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft by a who else the GM who happens to be the greatest NBA player of all time MICHAEL JORDAN. And Michael Jordan wasted a number 3 overall pick on Morrison? He passed up on Ronnie Brewer, Thabo Sefalosha, Randy Foye, Brandon Roye and Rudy Gay for this bust? What was Michael Jordan thinking
I feel u Julian, but Gus works for the new network foxsports1 now because he felt he deserved the big money & cbs didn't give it to him. Besides, Jim Nantz is Mr cbs. Unless he gets to old & senile like Billy Packer soon its no way they will ever give him the boot. He is the voice of the final four.
LOL how can you say that? If anything, they deserve it more for playing better at the end of a close game, when it mattered most and Gonzaga let it slip away.
1:16:43 DAMN...... Morrison, hold on to it, get foul & sent to the line.... why in the hell would you even think about ATTEMPTING(let alone) throw a cross-court pass? WOW.... i remember this game, GUS JOHNSON YOUR THE MAN!!!!
"Are u kidding me" that part get me all the time lol🤣💯💥🔥

Who’s here after UCLA vs Gonzaga in the 2021 Final Four?
TIME TO BEAT GONZAGA AGAIN!!
UCLA really lucky that game. It was raining UCLA 8 claps at the end and continuing into the parking lot. What a game. Best comeback game I've been to.

They say the biggest lead was 17 pts but it was actually 19
i remember my mom telling me to turn it off cuz she went to ucla when they were down by 17 i said they came back and she almost cried haha

This is why March Madness isnt the same without Gus Johnson

So....how long until Gus Johnson replaces Jim Nantz as the lead broadcaster for CBS?
He's with fox now

Gonzaga really hasn't been that great ever since this game.
