Answer: What are things meaner than the UCLA men's basketball team?
The Bruins once again struggled to put their foot down, once again refused to keep a big lead, once again looked on helplessly as a struggling team righted itself and left them in the dust.
UCLA watched an 11-point lead turn into a seven-point deficit in just eight minutes to close the first half, and Cal cruised down the stretch to a 72-58 win at Pauley Pavilion on Saturday afternoon.
"When we get big leads, we kind of get too comfortable, then they start to chip away at it," UCLA freshman forward Tyler Honeycutt said. "We think we can just turn it on when we want, and we haven't been able to do that. We need to keep the pressure on them."
