On Thursday morning, the three visiting teams participating in the 2018 Veterans Classic took a special tour of the Naval Academy.
Players, coaches and support personnel with the Maryland, Providence and Wichita State basketball teams were treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the academy that featured a visit to Bancroft Hall, the massive dormitory that houses the entire Brigade of Midshipmen.
After spending about three hours walking around the Naval Academy and having some fun checking out military equipment that was brought on the yard just for the occasion, the three visiting teams watched in silence as the Brigade of Midshipmen assembled for the noon meal formation.
