I was thinking that a close win by UCLA is the best scenario for Texas. First, it won't shut Aggies up, but at least it relegates them to ponderances of "next year" and "will Jordan stay?". Secondly, it proves again that UCLA is beatable.
As for Carter on the last shot, there were worse no calls in the game that went in A&M's favor, so, in the words of Bob Knight, I really don't care.
