ANNAPOLIS, Md. — College basketball teams will travel from Hawaii to Puerto Rico and everywhere in between over the next two months in search of high-quality competition. Few will enjoy the experience that the Friars had the last two days.
The players and coaches from PC, Wichita State and Maryland were all guests of the Naval Academy from Thursday morning through the Veterans Classic doubleheader on Friday night. The team met and dined with Midshipmen and Midshipwomen, took a campus tour and jumped in a helicopter, tested a ship simulator, sat in Humvees and heard several inspirational talks from current Naval administrators.
