HOUSTON (AP) – UCLA lost just once at home this season and it was Gonzaga that dished out that defeat.
To say that 87-74 loss in December is serving as extra motivation for the Bruins (21-13) as they prepare for a rematch against the second-seeded Bulldogs (34-2) in the NCAA Sweet 16 on Friday might be an understatement.
UCLA’s Kevon Looney says: ”We take pride in defending our home court and they’re the only team that came in there and beat us this year. We’ve got a chip on our shoulder about that.”
Gonzaga coach Mark Few knows the Bruins will be looking for revenge for that loss and that they are dangerous despite being a No. 11 seed.
Few says: ”They’re playing with a high level of confidence right now. They’re on a roll.”
