Last week, the basketball team began preparation for a 10-day trip to Europe this summer. First, the team will travel to Rome for three days with games against LCC International University of Klaipeda, Lithuania and BC Silute. The Wildcats will round out their Italian trip with a game against Italian Select in Tuscany and against the Kosovo national team in Como. After that, the team will head to Switzerland and close out competition against BBC Lausanne.
Weber noted that the last time Kansas State toured Europe was in 2012 and the off-season experience allowed that team to gel and mature enough to win a Big 12 title in Weber's first year.
