The shot became a classic as soon as it fell from the hoop. Jalen Suggas scored 3-points in a frustration at the end of overtime on Saturday night to send undefeated Gonzaga to the men’s national championship game.
Suggs Heave gave the Bulldogs the top total seed in the tournament, with a 93-90 overtime win over 11-seed UCLA – and a date with Baylor on Monday night in Indianapolis. It also set up a Twitter frenzy as everyone shot and ran to do wonders in the game.

One interested party had a unique vision: former Zags star Adam Morrison, who had a scathing response to UCLA’s beating of his Gonzaga squad in the 2006 Sweet 16. Morrison was an analyst for Gonzaga Radio broadcast Saturday night.
