The men's basketball team's visit to China this summer just got a bit more historic as Vice President Joe Biden gave a pep talk to the squad before their exhibition match on Wednesday at the National Olympic Sports Center.

University President John J. DeGioia was flanked by the vice president and the U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke as they watched the Hoyas play the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons. Biden's talk before the game and halftime review seemed to put some fire in the Hoyas, who went on to win 98-81 against the Chinese team, which hails from the north division of the Chinese Basketball Association...

A men's basketball matchup against a Chinese professional team devolved into a heated brawl Thursday night, prompting Head Coach John Thompson III to pull his squad off the court in the fourth quarter.

The fight broke out as the the game against the Bayi Rockets was tied at 64. As players and coaches dodged chairs and punches were thrown, fans could be seen hurling bottles at the court, according to the Twitter account of Gene Wang, a sports writer for The Washington Post who was at the game.

The game had already been ridden with fouls up until the time senior guard Jason Clark and Bayi forward-center Hu Ke argued over a foul called for the Rockets, according to the Post. In all, ESPN reported that the Rockets took 57 free throws compared to the Hoyas' 15.

The officiating had caused enough tension, but Rockets forward Xu Zhonghao exacerbated the situation by taking issue with Thompson III and berating him in the third quarter.

"At one point, a Chinese player walked up to John Thompson III, while John Thompson was coaching on his sideline, about a foot from his face, and started yelling at him," Wang told CSN Washington, referring to Xu. "I couldn't believe what I was seeing, what was happening."

2. That assault was premeditated.

The Chinese players are thugs. Maybe that's because they don't play basketball very well.
