UH men’s basketball leaves for exhibition tour in Australia

The Cougar men’s basketball team departed for Sydney, Australia Friday afternoon where the team will play four exhibition games over the next week and a half.

The NCAA allows basketball teams a trip to play exhibition games every four years, with UH’s last trip being in Italy in 2019.

UH will play the East All-stars of the National Basketball League on Monday, and then will play the Australian National Team two days later in Cairns. After that, the team will play the Frankston Blues, a semi-professional team of the NBL1 on August 12 before facing the Australian Select team a day later.
