NCAA – We told you that this university season started very strong. It was confirmed once more last night at UCLA, which beat Villanova in overtime in an atmosphere already worthy of the final tournament.
After a first half where the two teams answered each other blow for blow, Villanova had nevertheless taken an option on victory following returning from the locker room by passing an 11-2 resulting in a 10-point advantage.
But Tyger Campbell responded to Collin Gillespie (18 points) with two consecutive 3-pointers which added fuel to the California fire. Jaime Jaquez Jr. (21 points, 13 rebounds) and Johnny Juzang (25 points) then took over to bring the Bruins back into contact. But it is indeed Jules Bernard (16 points) who will take out the miraculous shot, with the board and unbalanced, to equalize at 67 everywhere with 30 seconds remaining.
Unable to score on their last possession in regulation time, the Wildcats missed the mark. Because the extension will be one-sided (19-10) with Juzang leading the way and Jaquez rushing in for a basket with the fault that set the Pavilion on fire.
“We love these games”confirmed Juzang followingwards. “That’s where we have the most fun. It is enormous ! »
After their fantastic run during the last “March Madness”, the Bruins therefore keep their momentum. Watch out for UCLA this season!
