Really awesome news for Yanick!

Saw that the article called us the "Methodist University of Dallas," which is a pretty cool way to represent SMU to a country filled with people that would have no idea where SMU is otherwise.

This is great news. Congratulations, Yanick!

Here is some good information on the tournament from the ultimate information source:

Angola is in a group with Lithuania, South Korea, Slovenia, Mexico, and Australia.

I noticed tournament dates are August 30–September 14-does that affect his status for next year? He's going to miss some school time.

There will be no joy in MUDville when football starts and until basketball begins again.

Congrats to Yanick. I hope it helps him add 20 pounds of muscle and a mean streak.
