Report: UCLA and Gonzaga set for Final Four rematch in November

Multiple reports peg the rematch to take place just before Thanksgiving in Las Vegas

While revenge is a dish best served cold, it looks like the Bruins might have a chance to best the Bulldogs while the beef is still hot.

UCLA men's basketball is set to rematch Gonzaga on Nov. 23 in Las Vegas, CBS Sports' Matt Norlander first reported Thursday. NCAA.com's Andy Katz followed up and reported the game is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

A UCLA Athletics spokesperson declined to comment on the reports.

The Bruins and Bulldogs faced off in a historic Final Four battle back on April 3, ending in a half-court game-winner at the buzzer by Gonzaga guard Jalen Suggs. The ESPY-winning game of the year didn't go UCLA's way, despite Johnny Juzang's clutch 29 points, and the Zags came out on top 93-90.

UCLA is returning every player who played in that game to its roster this season. Gonzaga, on the other hand, will be down three starters, including likely-lottery picks in Suggs and wing Corey Kispert.

The Bruins' nonconference schedule now includes matchups with Gonzaga, North Carolina and Marquette, with the game against the Tar Heels also taking place in Las Vegas in December.
