UCLA v Gonzaga
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The UCLA men s basketball team returned to Los Angeles Sunday, one day after its bid for an upset of undefeated Gonzaga ended with Jalen Suggs making an approximately 40-foot 3-point basket as time expired in overtime to give the Bulldogs a 93-90 victory.
The Bruins had tied the score in the national semifinal game of the NCAA men s basketball tournament when Johnny Juzang grabbed the rebound of his missed jump shot and made a layup with three seconds to play.
UCLA had a chance to win in regulation Saturday but Juzang was called for an offensive foul with one second left, forcing the Bruins into overtime for the third time in their six games in the tournament.

COMPTON (CNS) - What began as a tree fire was pushed by gusting winds into an industrial pallet yard and warehouse complex in Compton today, creating a plume of thick black smoke visible from as far as Orange County and prompting evacuations as embers ignited blazes at homes in an adjacent neighborhood.
A passerby initially reported a fire burning in a tree near Alameda Street and East Rosecrans Avenue around 4:30 p.m., fire officials said.
With the Southland in the tail end of a Santa Ana wind event, gusty conditions quickly pushed the flames into the industrial yard, sparking an inferno as flames chewed through flammable materials stacked in the yard and inside metal-roof structures on the property.
