THIS GAME WAS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER!!!
Illinois started the game 33-10 but UCLA bounced the fuck back! ending the first half 50-43
but that wasn't all UCLA ended up taking a lead early in the 2nd half and Illinois ended up forcing OT where UCLA would end the game with a GAME WINNING LAYUP!
Honestly game winning layups are more exciting to me than game winning 3's
and this layup was extra special being a game winning layup to win a game you we're down 33-10 against and they were not only a ranked opponent but # 10 Illinois
This game is a certified #BANGER glad I went back and watched it

What a game. Somehow this was the game of the day. Cronin gotta run that hate on his team gimmick to get them to play inspired basketball Fairs man. What a win this should put them in the tournament because lets be real none of those other bubble teams are doing this. Played a really good game vs maybe the best team in the conference. Dent has looked rough all year but he got the game winning buzzer beater layup so hopefully he can turn up at just the right time. Gonna be interesting to see how the Bruins go on from here.

UCLA sure does play great at home! The Bruins kept it close all game after their horrific start, and this one would need overtime! UCLA and Illinois went back-and-forth with the lead until the Illini got a big offensive rebound and scored with 5 seconds left to give them the lead! UCLA would get the last laugh though because Donovan Dent would get the inbound and run the full length of the court to get the buzzer beater layup! The Bruins get their 2nd top 10 win of the season!
