On a night when UCLA honored legendary announcer Dick Enberg, the accompanying basketball game could be appropriately described in two words.
Oh. My.
The trademark phrase printed on student T-shirts and uttered by Enberg at halftime perfectly fit everything else that happened around it.
Oh my, the Bruins finally played up to their Final Four hype.
Oh my, Lonzo Ball is unreal.
Oh my, their defense can actually be, like, good!
On a night when the Bruins fell behind by 19 points in a first half that felt like a slowly deflating balloon, they tightened and toughened and came back to beat fifth-ranked Oregon, 82-79, in what became a roaring, rollicking Pauley Pavilion.
