The Pavilion at JSerra Catholic High School provided an energetic backdrop for high-flying Division 1 men’s college basketball action in the second annual SoCal Challenge on Nov. 21 and 23.

After three of the four opening-day contests were decided by one point, the second and final day saw UNLV put up a near-dominant performance over Minnesota to capture the Surf Division championship, and High Point triumphed over Tennessee State for the Sand Division title.
