Campbell scores eight consecutive points during a 15-4 closing run that rallies the fourth-seeded Bruins to a 57-53 victory. UCLA will face No. 5 seed St. Mary’s on Saturday.
PORTLAND, Ore. — As UCLA was taking the floor for warmups on Thursday night, the crowd’s focus was toward the ceiling of the arena. All eyes were on the jumbotron broadcasting No. 2 seed Kentucky’s overtime loss to No. 15 Saint Peter’s halfway across the country.
Campbell’s first 3-pointer from the corner brought UCLA to within 51-50 with 2:26 to play before a mid-range jumper and a 25-foot 3-pointer as the shot clock was expiring that gave the Bruins a 55-51 lead with 1:17 left. UCLA trailed 26-25 at halftime after shooting just 32% from the field that was dampened by a 3-for-13 start from the field, with four turnovers, and an eventual scoring drought that lasted 5 minutes and 52 seconds.
