UConn vs. Gonzaga live score, updates, highlights from March Madness Elite Eight game
When March Madness started, UConn and Gonzaga were popular picks to win it all. The two leading basketball programs fielded in the western region as No. 4 and No. 3, respectively.
The Huskies got to that point by throttling No. 13 Iona, No. 5 Saint Mary’s and No. 8 Arkansas to play for a spot in the regional finals. The Bulldogs beat the No. 14 Grand Canyon in the first round before winning three-point contests against No. 6 TCU and No. 2 UCLA, the latter being won by a late 3 from Julian Strawther.
Gonzaga has now been in the Elite Eight in five of the last eight tournaments, while UConn is in the Elite Eight for the first time since winning the national championship in 2014.
