The 1919–20 Southern Branch Cubs men's basketball team represented the Southern Branch of the University of California during the 1919–20 NCAA men's basketball season and were members of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference[lower-alpha 1] This was the program's first season and they were coached by Fred Cozens who also coached the football team and served as athletic director. As the southern branch did not offer third year and fourth year coursework until 1924, the roster consisted of first and second year students.[4][5] In their inaugural season, cubs finished with an overall record of 12–2 and were second in their conference with a record of 8–2.[6]

Previous Season

Although the Southern Branch's predecessor, the Los Angeles State Normal School, sponsored a men's basketball team, the UCLA recordbooks do not recognize these seasons.[7][8]

Notes

While published sources indicate that the Southern Branch did not join the SCIAC until the 1920–21 season, contemporary sources include the southern branch in the conference's standings during the 1919–20 season.[1][2][3]
