Had to check out Wash U's schedule (thanks Wydown) and note that they are hosting Tsinghua University in the Lopata Tourney....   I said "what?"...

The simplified info from Wikipedia...

Tsinghua University (THU; simplified Chinese: 清华大学; traditional Chinese: 清華大學; pinyin: Qīnghuá Dàxué), or Qinghua University, is a university in Beijing, China. The school is one of the nine universities of the C9 League. It was established in 1911, originally under the name "Tsinghua Xuetang". The school was renamed the "Tsinghua School" in 1912. The university section was founded in 1925 and the name "National Tsinghua University" adopted in 1928. With a motto of Self-Discipline and Social Commitment, Tsinghua University describes itself as being dedicated to academic excellence, the well-being of Chinese society and to global development.[1] Today, most national and international rankings place Tsinghua as one of the best universities in mainland China.

The Lopata now going world wide to bring in outstanding Student Athletes  .   It will be a thrill to welcome this team all the way from China to Wash U and St. Louis......
The only thing not to be liked in Florida is no D3 hoops!!!




Wydown Blvd.

WashU has a close academic relationship with Tsinghua University through the engineering department. The Chinese university coming to Lopata probably arose after the trip that Tyler Nading and Cameron Smith took around the time of the Bejing Olympics:
