No. 11 UCLA pulls away to upset No. 2 Alabama in OT and advance to Elite Eight

UCLA has earned the Pac-12 three teams in the Elite Eight.

The No. 11 Bruins held off multiple second-half comebacks from Alabama and had to go to overtime to upset the No. 2 Crimson Tide 88-78 and advance to play No. 1 Michigan on Tuesday night in the East Region.

The game went to OT after Alabama's Alex Reese hit a three-pointer with 0.4 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 65-65. UCLA didn't foul after going up three with 4.2 seconds left and Reese swished a wide-open look from way beyond the arc at the top of the key.
