Texas knocks off No. 2 UCLA

Damion James dunked with eight seconds remaining to help No. 8 Texas upset second-ranked UCLA 63-61 after the Longhorns blew all of a 16-point, first-half lead Sunday in the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series in Los Angeles.

James and D.J. Augustin finished with 19 points each, and the Longhorns (7-0) survived their closest game yet after winning their first six by at least 15 points. James also had 10 rebounds.

UCLA's first loss of the season ended the Bruins' 25-game home winning streak. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had 14 points, and Darren Collison added 12 in his first start for the Bruins (7-1).

Mbah a Moute missed a 3-pointer in front of UCLA's bench at the buzzer.

UCLA became the highest-ranked opponent Texas has beaten in a true road game in school history. The Longhorns' previous highest-ranked win came over No. 4 Memphis in January 2006.

With the score tied at 61-61, Mbah a Moute was fouled by Connor Atchley. The UCLA player's first attempt spun out of the basket, setting up the Longhorns' final possession.

Kansas 59, USC 55: Mario Chalmers made a 3-pointer and a free throw in the final 20 seconds, and No. 4 Kansas (7-0) held off No. 22 Southern California in Los Angeles.

Freshman O.J. Mayo led the Trojans (6-2) with 19 points.

Arizona 78, Texas A&M 67: Jerryd Bayless scored a season-high 26 points, and host Arizona (5-2) rallied from a 20-point first-half deficit to defeat No. 9 Texas A&M.

Josh Carter scored 17 points and Joseph Jones had 13 for Texas A&M (7-1).
