UMass gets ‘invaluable’ experience in Europe

May college teams are making memories over the summer with trips abroad. The Massachusetts men's basketball team took theirs to two major European cities, London and Paris.

The Minutemen competed against professional teams, winning all three exhibitions by more than 40 points, but what will be remembered more is the experiences off the court as the team explored the cities as tourists.
