UCLA brother and sister make March Madness a proud family moment

Proud grandfather Ezequiel "Zeke" Jaquez Jr. will be tuning into the NCAA tournaments on Thursday and throughout the weekend from his home in Camarillo, California, to cheer not one, but two of his grandchildren.

Senior forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. will be leading the No. 2 seeded UCLA men’s team against their closest opponent, Gonzaga, No.3 seed, on Thursday in Las Vegas. His sister Gabriela, a freshman forward with the women’s team, will face a tough challenge up against No. 1 overall seed South Carolina this Saturday. If both teams win, they will head to NCAA’s Elite Eight round.

Jaime Jaquez Jr., who has just been declared Pac-12 player of the year, and Gabriela are the first brother and sister duo to make it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the same school in the same season.

This is Gabriela’s first tournament, and Jaime’s last after a college experience filled with wins.
