From play-in to Final Four: No. 11 UCLA knocks off No. 1 Michigan in Elite Eight

UCLA’s improbable NCAA tournament run will continue.

The Bruins held on in the second half to upset No. 1 seed Michigan 51-49 to advance to play Gonzaga in the Final Four on Saturday night. UCLA joins 2011 VCU as the only teams to advance to the Final Four after having to play in a play-in game before the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Michigan had three chances to win the game in the final 10 seconds. Franz Wagner's three didn't hit the rim with less than 10 seconds to go and a three from Mike Smith with less than three seconds to go bounced twice off the rim.
