The ship hasn't quite sailed on UCLA yet, but it's clear that the Bruins aren't the super-elite team they were in the past three years. Maybe time will change that, but for now, UCLA is clearly in the second tier of college hoops top dogs this season.
Texas, on the other hand, is pending further investigation.
Last night's contest proved two things: AJ Abrams is a stud (but we already knew that) and UCLA has trouble getting points against good teams. The defense is still there for Ben Howland's club, but the offense might be the downfall later in the year. Granted, this game went down to the wire, but UCLA in years past would have won this game.
