A main purpose of the trip is for Greenwood and Bairstow to enjoy playing for the Lobos in their home country. The team often schedules road games during the season vs. a team so a Lobo player can play close to home.
Alex Kirk, who is currently playing on the USA team in the University games, will be coming. Also, Kendall Williams, the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and an invitee to the USA camp will be coming also. Unfortunately, Tony Snell chose to forgo his last college season and was selected #20 in the first round by the Bulls.
Greenwood and Bairstow have been developing around some talented teammates and UNM should be the clear favorite to win the MWC once again this coming season. This trip gives a boost for preparing for the season.
