A look at all the winners and losers from Saturday’s slate of games.
The Bruins (28-7) saw one of their best players, Jaime Jacquez Jr., go out with an ankle injury with seven minutes left in its second-round clash with Saint Mary’s. Instead of falling apart, they instead used the adversity as motivation to pull away for a Sweet 16-clinching 72-56 win over the Gaels. That’s the type of resiliency of a Mick Cronin-coached team. It started with do-everything point guard Tyger Campbell, who finished with 16 points and four assists, pacing a UCLA team with four players in double figures. A surprise Final Four finisher last year, this group looks determined and poised to get back there this year.
