SANTA CRUZ —
It was a wild swing of emotions, one clutch play followed by another.
Tyger Campbell looked like the hero in one instant, making an old-fashioned three-point play to put UCLA ahead of Stanford by a point in overtime.
Jalen Hill made it seem as if it would hold up, blocking a shot to preserve the Bruins’ advantage with eight-tenths of a second left.
Then came the inbounds pass that could haunt UCLA for eternity.
Michael O’Connell threw it. Oscar da Silva caught it on a backdoor play, slicing through the paint for a layup that gave the Cardinal a 73-72 victory over the Bruins on Saturday at Kaiser Permanente Arena.
