USC Basketball: Latest On Team's August Exhibition Tour In Europe

When, where and who.

Your USC Trojans are set to partake in a 10-day exhibition tour from August 5th-15th, where they will visit Athens and Mykonos in Greece, and Dubrovnik, Croatia, reports Joe Reedy of The Associated Press.

They'll be traveling without freshman combo guard Bronny James, who continues to recuperate from a cardiac arrest he suffered at Galen Center on Monday.

College programs are permitted by the NCAA to travel abroad every four years on exhibition tours of this nature to help grow international interest in the game. Why annual jaunts aren't allowed is beyond me.

As Reedy notes, no underlying cause has yet been divulged for Bronny James' heart issue, though he notes that most commonly in these cases the cause tends to be a structural problem to the organ. Whether or not Bronny will be able to continue his basketball career at all remains an open question for now. Our fingers are crossed we get some positive news in that respect soon.

As for USC, the rest of the club -- including the top recruit in his high school class, freshman guard Isaiah Collier, and returning guard Boogie Ellis, a potential first round draft pick next year -- traveling overseas for this trip.
