UCLA men's basketball is seeking improvement shooting the basketball this season.
UCLA men's basketball held their first fall practice on Wednesday, just over a month out from their 2024-25 season opener against Rider. The Bruins are seeking a much more successful year than they had last season when they failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since Mick Cronin took over as head coach.
"I would say an issue last year was getting the ball in the basket from anywhere," Cronin told reporters Wednesday. "If you go to our last game, we missed seven two-footers against Oregon in the Pac-12 Tournament ... we have obviously a whole new team this year. Skyy, Dom, Trent, Kobe, they can all shoot."
Cronin also feels more confident about this team and the shooting because of the experience his players now have. Returning starters Sebastian Mack, Dylan Andrews, and Lazar Stefanovic have another year another their belt, and each of the transfers brings in experience to the team.
