The Yale bb team is already in China studying its culture and history. Also they are getting in a practice game or two against local teams.

Is the Cal team also in China learning about its fascinating and ancient culture or just going there to play the game against Yale? Also is there a scouting report on Yale's team? Which team will be favored?

Think the stores over there are watching their sunglasses this time around?

yes (also already there)/no
yes
Yale

Aren't classes going on now? I know Larry loves China, but I'm really surprised an Ivy League school would want their student missing a week of class.

Strange that they wouldn't try to schedule this over the holiday break which is 3-4 weeks long at semester schools.

Holiday break is often tournament time.

Both Cal and Yale have turned the trip into an academic class.

Cal is giving one credit for the trip. The contest is part of an ongoing contract with the Pac12.
