Team USA has been playing hard, but they still got a chance to see some Egyptian sights before the tournament began. By now you should have seen the posts of Coach Calipari and Team USA on their camels in Egypt. Cameron Reddish informed us that there was no actual riding and that they, "Kind of just got on and got off quickly because we were nervous about it.”
Hamidou Diallo said for him seeing the sights was especially cool for him on a personal level.
"It’s been real cool, I mean we went to see the pyramids and that was a great experience I mean just seeing the culture and things like that. I’m Muslim so I know the culture, so for the guys to see the culture it’s been real cool."
Diallo said if he had more time he would explore the Muslim culture of the country more, "I would really love to go see that and to be apart of that if I could but right now I just can't."
