This afternoon, John Calipari and the U19 National Team arrived in Cairo, Egypt for the FIBA World Cup; what should they expect over the next two weeks? I’ve never been to Egypt, but I do have a computer with internet access, so I spent my day researching the ancient land and the event. Here’s what the team can look forward to, both on and off the basketball court.
1. It’s gonna be really, really hot
Over the next two weeks, temperatures in Cairo are expected to get as high as 107 degrees. Every day will be pretty much the same: sunny and hot with absolutely no chance of precipitation.
