The UCLA men’s basketball team’s season has come to an end following an 83-63 loss to Minnesota in the second round of the NCAA tournament in Austin, Texas.
Early foul trouble plagued the No. 6-seeded Bruins, who saw very little production from a frontcourt rotation of redshirt junior forwards Travis Wear and David Wear and freshman center/forward Tony Parker in the first half.
Freshman guard/forward Shabazz Muhammad led all UCLA players with 20 points, but failed to convert on each of his seven shot attempts in the first half, forcing UCLA into a 35-25 deficit heading into the tunnels.
The Bruins shot just under 32 percent from the field, one of the team’s worst shooting performances of the season.
No. 11-seeded Minnesota will play third-seeded Florida in the third round on Sunday. UCLA is now 1-2 in its last three NCAA tournament games.
