- Kudos the the Washington Men's basketball program for scheduling another enriching international trip for its basketball team. UW will take a summer trip and compete against international teams in Spain, France, Monaco and Senegal. The highlight of the trip will likely be visiting the hometown of center Aziz N'Diaye in Dakar, Senegal. Romar took his team on a similar international summer trip to Greece back in 2007.
