UCLA edges Northwestern to return to Sweet 16; David Singleton sprains ankle
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — How Sweet it is.
For the third time in as many seasons, UCLA is advancing to the NCAA tournament’s second week.
The Bruins made it to the Sweet 16 again because another trend persisted Saturday at the Golden 1 Center: The final minutes continued to be winning time.
Shaking off a huge Northwestern rally in which the Wildcats erased a 13-point deficit, second-seeded UCLA held off the seventh-seeded Wildcats for a 68-63 victory in the second round.
The Bruins’ celebration was muted because of another late-season injury.
