Sebastian Mack ejected as UCLA loses to Utah on buzzer-beater

Sebastian Mack ejected as Branden Carlson buzzer-beater ends UCLA’s winning streak.

The UCLA Bruins men’s basketball team saw its winning streak come to an end on Sunday afternoon. The Bruins lost to the Utah Utes, 70-69, on a buzzer-beater by Branden Carlson.

Utah had four players in double figures, with Carlson and Deivon Smith both scoring 17. UCLA went into halftime up just two points and it was a back-and-forth effort all game long at Pauley Pavilion on Sunday in a huge Pac-12 Conference battle.

UCLA had another balanced attack with Lazar Stefanovic with 19 and Dylan Andrews with 15. However, Sebastian Mack played just eight minutes due to being ejected early in the first half.

Dylan Andrews’ jumper gave UCLA a one-point lead with less than 10 seconds left, but Carlson played herp for Utah in a thrilling finish.

UCLA moves to 14-12 overall and Utah goes to 16-10. UCLA now is 9-5 and tied for Oregon for third place as Utah moves to just 6-8 in Pac-12 play.
