Well, deserved. That was the absolute right thing to do.

Anyone know how many games will be played on the trip?

Congrats to the Birdville Bomber and what a neat opportunity for the team to go to Italy. A once in a lifetime trip for many of these kids.

Draper's one of those players who's just exciting to watch (even on perimeter defense) every time he sets foot on the court, and I think it's a credit to both his work ethic and the coaching staff that he has improved as much as he has and really found a critical role on this team.   

If you add up all the extra playing/practicing time from the CBI and the Italy trip, it's almost like the players are getting an extra semester of experience without losing any eligibility.

“It’s a credit to the university that we are doing things that haven’t been done before,” McCasland said.

Cant disagree with this statement.
