“What a great opportunity for our program,” said head coach Kelvin Sampson.
Not only did the team get a head start on the season with 10 extra practices and four games under their belt, they will also have the opportunity to sightsee and receive three credit hours towards a Sociology course.
Sampson said the trip to China is most importantly about forming a culture and bonding as a team, which is something he did not quite have in his first season at Houston.
“When we start practice in October it’s not going to be like starting practice last year in October when we didn’t even know each other,” Sampson said.
