Hmmm. I wonder if the posters of the UCLABasketballReport are screaming about stall ball. Or is it that UCLA always plays so slowly.
#2 UCLA is down by 12 to #8 Texas at the half in Pauley Pavilion. Not sure if Texas can keep it up in the second half, but as to their dominance in the first half, the crowd celebrated when UCLA cut the lead to 11.
My impression is that the score has more to do with Texas being better than expected than UCLA being over-rated. Augustin, Abrams, and Mason are a pretty impressive backcourt. Texas is one of very few teams in the country that Duke might choose not to run with.
Kevin Love is a large man, but I think we got the right guy out of Oregon.

UCLA at the line for a One and One with 29.8 seconds left... MISSED! Texas going for the win.
Hahahahahhaha!
Texas wins!
Texas looks really good.
Hah! Texas wins by two.
Does Texas pass Duke in the rankings now? Shouldn't but may.
If so this is not that big of an upset.
I agree! I have now seen parts of 3-4 UCLA games and have come away wondering why there was so much hype about Love. He seems to a have good vision and passing ability as well a a great feel for the game but he kinda reminds me of Bryant "Big Country" Reeves. That's not to say that he won't be a good if not great college player, with his size he'll do quite well at the college level. Watching him though is a little tough he seems to be in slow motion half the time.
Kyle is much more dynamic and fun to watch. I also think his upside is higher. Just one man's opinion.
