Texas at UCLA

In a rather exciting game, the two time-out-eating coaches faced off, and the "mad scientist" Rick Barnes emerged with a W in his first ever visit as a head coach at Pauly. Kevin Love had his worse game as a college player, which followed his second worse game against GW. Tonight Kevin Love looked more like HBO's Fat Actress than an NBA lottery pick ;-)

Texas almost lost the game falling victim to the "too much too early" theory of ESPN's and Vermont's Tom Brennan, but unlike Texas A&M, they did not fall apart in the second half, and made enough clutch shots to get the big road W. Kevin Durant who???

DJ Augustin, Damian James, Connor Atchley, and the rest of the Longhorns toughed in it out and persevered when the Bruins came out of the gate strong in the second half. Bruins fans may be happy that Josh Shipp hit clutch three pointers, Lorenzo Mata-Real is becoming more and more of a basketball player, and Mike Roll made a brief guest appearance. But without a solid game from Kevin Love, and without a consistent outside shooter, the UCLA team was exposed. While a loss is a loss, this was not a particularly bad loss for UCLA, as the Longhorns had been steamrolling the competition up to now.
