Lamar was really fortunate here, getting to face 9th seed UCLA because #1 seed Arkansas lost in the 1st round. They take advantage of the opportunity, using their quickness to race out to a 14 pt halftime lead. UCLA mounted a comeback and got as close as 4 pts late in the 2nd half, but two of their starters fouled out and they didn't execute down the stretch. Lamar is heading to the Elite 8!
