As the Washington Huskies men’s basketball team officially started practice this weekend, we will start to look at the revamped squad as it enters the 2015-2016 season. The Huskies will open its regular season with a unique opportunity to play in China as they play the Texas Longhorns with its new head coach Shaka Smart. It will be the first time that any U.S. college or professional sports team has played a regular season game in the country.
Similar to its New York trip a couple years ago, the team will make the trip an educational one as well with cultural and educational visits during their stay in the country.
