Just because March is over, it doesn’t mean that Madness has to come to an end as well. The end of the Final Four clash between Gonzaga and UCLA proved this on Saturday, with an absolutely remarkable ending.
With less than a second to go before overtime, Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs called with a deep three-point boost, pulling up and swinging on one of the most incredible moves in the history of the NCAA Tournament. The winner of the game gave Gonzaga the 93-92 victory over seed No. 11 at UCLA in an instant classic shuttle that will go down in the tournament’s history as one of the best finals the event has ever had.
The game as a whole attracted the attention of many in the NBA and the world of sports in general, as it unfolded and became a game forever. Eventually, not only did the game take over the timeline, but Suggs’ buzzer-beater caused a sports explosion where apparently everyone on Twitter posted some form of “oh my god” and there was nothing but pure shock to be found.
If you missed it, or just want to relive the incredible ending, here is Jalen Suggs recording his name in the March Madness tradition.
And now, some of the social media highlights that came as a result of the best match in the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
Gonzaga players in the NBA were thrilled with the impressive finish and could not contain their excitement to see the Bulldogs beat their blood in the Final Four and continue their unbeaten run with the chance of a national title and the immortality of college basketball alive.
Former UCLA Bruins also used Twitter, expressing his disbelief at the end, including Cleveland Cavaliers striker Kevin Love – who played in the last UCLA Final Four in 2008 – and went through a whole range of emotions after his crushing defeat.
