UCLA once again falters to finish against a quality opponent in loss to Ohio State

ATLANTA —

Closing time continues to be the same story for UCLA.

The Bruins keep finishing off themselves.

Given another chance against a quality opponent in the final minutes Saturday afternoon, the Bruins fell short once again.

Late defensive breakdowns and staggering offense plagued UCLA during a 67-60 loss to Ohio State at State Farm Arena in the CBS Sports Classic.

The Bruins (6-4) failed to box out or rotate properly in failing to notch what was their last chance at a quality win for NCAA tournament resume purposes before the start of Pac-12 play later this month.
