The third-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs and the No. 2 seed UCLA Bruins will meet in the West Region of the Sweet 16 on Thursday night.
Gonzaga, a perennial contender in the NCAA Tournament, reached the final in 2021 but fell short of their ultimate goal of winning the championship, as they look to make a run this year. Meanwhile, UCLA reached the Final Four in 2021 but was unable to replicate that success in the following season and tonight they will have the opportunity to advance to the Elite Eight with a win.
