The UCLA Basketball team fell out of the Top 10 after their beating from crosstown rival USC and are now ranked #11 in the latest AP Poll.
The UCLA Basketball has fallen for the second consecutive week after their gut punch at Galen Center.
Last week the Bruins only had one game, against city rival USC, and were promptly handed a reality check in the form of an 84-76 loss.
It was the second week in a row the Bruins were brutalized by a Pac-12 rival. UCLA lost 96-85 in the previous week to Arizona, which prompted last week’s fall from #3 to #8 in the AP Poll.
