Men's basketball sees improved ball movement, teamwork in its three wins in China

When the UCLA men’s basketball team left for China, they were banged up and incomplete, but that was good enough.

Well, perhaps more so.

In their weeklong tour of China, the Bruins won all of their three games – two against Chinese college teams and one against a professional team – by an average margin of 39.3 points.

While the results were staggering, UCLA was more concerned with the way they played rather than the score.

Several members of the team noted that ball movement was their main area of improvement.
