A free throw by Muhammad gave UCLA a one-point lead with 47.7 seconds left and Anderson culminated the surge with a basket with 24.8 seconds remaining to make it a three-point game. The Bruins were up two in the final seconds when a 30-foot, 3-point shot by Texas’ Jonathan Holmes was well off the mark.
