Not another 16-hour flight.
That’s the first thought Matisse Thybulle had when told he was selected to the Pac-12 all-star men’s basketball team playing in Australia.
The Huskies are traveling Down Under in August for a handful of exhibitions so the Washington sophomore didn’t immediately jump for joy about making two round trips over the Pacific Ocean.
“Coach (Lorenzo) Romar texted me out of the blue telling me about this opportunity (and) at first I was like that’s a long flight,” Thybulle said. “Then I thought about it and it’s such a great opportunity.”
Thybulle is one of 12 players on the Pac-12 team that includes Washington State’s Josh Hawkinson.
