Alex and Dominique go to China

Accompanying a team of collegians coached by Illini Director of Basketball Operations Sean Harrington, Al and Dom played eight games in China, and tied only one of them. (At the end of regulation, everyone felt they had seen enough basketball.)

Each day took them to a new city. The routine was to wake up too early, catch a plane to a new city, take a bus ride to a new venue, and inhale a bunch of smoke while combating teams of seven-foot Mandarins, Mongols and Cantons.

According to Keller, the basketball was comparable to Division II, or junior college. The tourism, on the other hand, was incomparable.
