Tallahassee, Fla. | The Rattlers traveled over 1,400 miles for their inaugural foreign tour under head coach Robert McCullum, and it turned out to be an excellent experience for the team as they won all three games.
 
"The trip was both rewarding and fulfilling in several ways," said head coach Robert McCullum. "We accomplished opportunities for team bonding, and there's no better way to achieve that than a foreign tour.
 
"It also afforded us as a coaching staff the opportunity to experiment and play different lineups and see players in different situations that we have not seen them in.
 
"Overall, it was a very rewarding trip, and all of us are extremely appreciative to AD Gosha for the commitment made to men's basketball."
