HOUSTON- The Texas Southern Tigers basketball team will travel to Beijing, China from June 19th to June 30th to participate in a series of exhibition games set to be played abroad against Chinese basketball organizations.

"This is a great opportunity for our basketball team," said TSU head coach Mike Davis. "It will be without a doubt a once in a lifetime opportunity for many of our student-athletes and we're happy to be able to participate and showcase our brand of basketball on a global stage."

The Tigers scheduled trip marks yet another impressive milestone for the team this season as TSU won the conference tournament and earned an NCAA berth to conclude the 2014-15 campaign.

It marked the second time in TSU history that the team won back-to-back tournament titles, as Texas Southern won titles in 1994 and 1995.

Just tell you kids to be on guard. The last college teams to go over there the last 2 years ended up in a bench clearing brawl. Those Chinese teams play dirty.
 

That's niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Some of those guys over there are thugged out so I hope sTu's players really watch themselves when playing against those guys. A few of them adopted the "thugg" culture of America and act/attempt to be that part while on the court of play.

I pray for everyone's safe travel there and back. Where is DCG's hot self @? I'm willing to trade her body for an I90% airline discount on the round-trip ticket. :D lol J/K, DCG. lol
