UCLA rallies back to beat Michigan State in overtime to make it out of First Four

Thanks to a huge and-one and an overtime stand, UCLA is moving on to the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The Bruins rallied back from a 14-point deficit on Thursday night to beat Michigan State 86-80 in their First Four matchup at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana — the final one of the night.

UCLA, after starting the half down 11, tied the game back up in the final minute after guard Jaime Jaquez converted a massive three-point play — which he only converted after snagging his own rebound on a missed free throw.
