NCAA Final Four, semi-final two: Gonzaga Bulldogs vs UCLA Bruins

The second semi-final of the 2021 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament, more commonly known as March Madness, sees the Gonzaga Bulldogs come up against the UCLA Bruins.

The UCLA Bruins are the competition's most decorated team, having won the NCAA championship on no fewer than 11 occasions, but they came into the 2021 edition seeded down in 11th in the East Regional section. Were they to lift the trophy, indeed, they would be the lowest-seeded side ever to do so.

Mike Cronin's men qualified for the Final Four with a 51-49 Elite Eight win over Michigan.

Meanwhile, Gonzaga headed into March Madness as one of the favourites - so much so that they were named the overall top seed. They're still waiting to win their first NCAA title, having come closest when they lost to North Carolina in the 2017 championship game.

Gonzaga are in the Final Four after defeating USC 85-66 in the Elite Eight.

Winners to take on Baylor or Houston in NCAA final

The winners of the semi-final between Gonzaga and UCLA will play either the Baylor Bears or the Houston Cougars in Monday's NCAA championship game.
