UCLA Basketball: Bruins plummet in the polls after the debacle in Vegas

That uninspired effort translated into the Bruins dropping from the AP Top 25 poll completely, though they did collect 30 votes, essentially putting them at 32nd.

The drop in the weekly poll was expected, but the Bruins also showed up another relevant poll, but with an even worse result.
