The 11th-seeded UCLA Bruins knocked off the top-seeded Michigan Wolverines on Tuesday night to continue an improbable journey from the First Four to the Final Four. And it’s the first Final Four of former Cincinnati Bearcats head coach Mick Cronin’s career.

“Players win games. I want to thank these kids for believing in me. These guys get all the credit. … No one believed in us. … That’s how we like it,” Cronin said in a TBS interview after the game.
Cronin’s Bruins will face another No. 1 seed, Gonzaga, on Saturday night.
