GREENSBORO, N.C. -- With her team playing its second road game in three days, coach Cori Close was just hoping UCLA would find a way to get better against North Carolina A&T on the Aggies home court.The Bruins did just that in an emphatic manner.Monique Billings and Kari Korver scored 15 points apiece to lead five players in double figures as No. 10 UCLA coasted to a 83-42 win against North Carolina A&T on Tuesday.Jordin Canada had 12 points and 10 assists for the Bruins (9-2), who are off to their best start since opening the 2010-11 season with 10 straight wins.Coming off a disappointing loss against No. 6 South Carolina on Sunday, UCLA dominated in all areas to head into the Christmas break.Our biggest goal we had for today was to finish strong and get better, Close said. Its very easy for kids to be halfway out the door for Christmas break. Overall, we just wanted to stay hungry and I thought we were able to do that.

A&T: The Aggies got a taste of playing a top-10 team on their home court.

A&T, which is about a 3-hour drive from Columbia, South Carolina, where the Bruins played on Sunday. The game time -- noon -- was also a bit unusual, but A&T had a packed gym courtesy of local middle school students that were bused in and created a lively atmosphere.UP NEXTUCLA: Returns home to open Pac-12 play against Utah on Dec. 30 and Colorado on Jan. 1.N.C. A&T: Closes out 2016 with home games against Ohio on Dec. 28 and Francis Marion on Dec. 31. Cheap Wizards Jerseys .

Trying also to look for the opportunities. And thats what paid off.Tournament No. 2 seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland faced Russian Mikhail Youzhny in the late Tuesday match.Taiwans Yen-Hsun Lu admits hes a bit nervous about facing hometown star Milos Raonic on Wednesday, but hes banking on the fourth-seeded Canadian having a few butterflies too.Lu, who advanced to the second round on Tuesday with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Alexander Zverev of Germany, will have few backers among the expected capacity crowd at the 12,500-seat Aviva Centre.All the spectators against you is very tough, Lu said.

I have to focus on my service game to stay with him and to maybe give him a little bitt of pressure and waiting for him maybe a little bit getting nervous from the tensions and give me a chance.ddddddddddddRaonic, who had a bye in the first round of the Rogers Cup, is 2-0 against the 32-year-old Lu, with his last victory coming in 2014 in Monte Carlo.

Thats just sport, thats tennis, that kind of stuff happens to me, it happens to everybody and as soon as we went to the change-over, the most important thing for me personally was to have a short memory about it and also to communicate with Adil that I was ready to move on to the tiebreaker.Bester and Shamasdin will next play South Africas Raven Klaasen and American Rajeev Ram.Lu, ranked 70th in the world, improved to 3-3 on the ATP World Tour circuit this season with his victory over Zverev.
