Gonzaga is off to Monday night’s NCAA Tournament national title game thanks to one of the best shots in college basketball history.
The Bulldogs, the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, topped No. 11 seed UCLA on a bank-shot buzzer-beater from Jalen Suggs.
Gonzaga and UCLA appeared to be heading to a second overtime, as the Bruins tied it up with a lay-in with less than five seconds to play. Suggs had other plans, though, as he drilled a shot as time expired to put his team into the national title game.
Here’s the final play:

Even LeBron James was impressed.
“I said SUGGS about to hit this as soon as he crossed half court. GAME!!” he tweeted. “One of the best games I’ve seen in a very long time!!”
