Women’s Hoops Continue Preparation for Italy
COLLEGE STATION, Texas –
The Texas A&M women’s basketball team continues preparations for
its upcoming Italy tour, as workouts resume Monday inside the
Cox-McFerrin Center for Aggie Basketball.
The
Aggies initially kicked off their training July 17-19 and are allowed
10 practice dates in advance of their trip. The team has seven practice
dates remaining, Aug. 6-9, 11-12 and 14, leading up to its departure
for Italy on Thursday, Aug. 16.
The tour takes
place Aug. 16-26 and will route A&M through Rome, Florence, Pisa,
Venice and Milan on a four-game schedule (games currently set for Aug.
19, 21, 23 and 25). Among the off-the-court highlights will be visits
to some of Italy’s most scenic and famous landmarks, including The
Colosseum, the Vatican City, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Lake Como.
It will be the first foreign tour for the program since its European
Tour in 2006.
