Jeez ease up on the piling on. UCLA had a terrible night. It happens. They looked as bad as I've seen them look. But the conference season is long and grueling and getting to Pullman is long and grueling in itself. They've also looked unreal this season, so let's keep an eye on reality. And they have so much talent. The other thing to remember is that injuries and illnesses happen and can throw off team rotation an dynamics.
On the flip, it is a tad worrying that they seem to be declining instead of getting better. They aren't as clinical in the box, they aren't pinging in the ball around...and the weird one is....their effort seems off. They were buzzing around early....now I've seen several games with people jogging...so weird.
I still think they are one of the top teams in the country, just a little perplexed that other top teams are getting better and ucla isn't. Maybe it's a midseason slump and they will bounce out of it for these next few weekends of the gauntlet and NCAA's.
My eye is still on UCLA-Stanford. But those next two weekends between the Cali schools will be legit.
