Underdogs UCLA work overtime to beat Alabama and punch Elite Eight ticket

• No 11 seed UCLA win 88-78 over No 2 Alabama in overtime
• No 1 seeds Gonzaga and Michigan also reach Elite Eight
• No 6 Southern California tops No 7 Oregon in Pac-12 battle

Jaime Jaquez Jr scored 17 points, hitting two big jumpers early in overtime, and No 11 seed UCLA held on after Alabama's Alex Reese drained a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of regulation to beat the second-seeded Crimson Tide 88-78 in a Sweet 16 showdown Sunday night.

With star guard Johnny Juzang fouled out, Jaquez and David Singleton took control in overtime. Jaquez curled in a jumper to make it 74-68, then drilled a three-pointer to make it 77-70 moments later. Singleton's free throws made it 79-70 with under a minute to go, and all UCLA (21-9) had to do was put the game away from the foul line.
