发帖数: 10208 | 1 Basketball team from Tsinghua University in Beijing to visit WUSTL
This isn't your typical basketball trip with a team hopping on a bus to play
a game and then head home.
This team traveled halfway across the world.
For the first time ever, a team from China is on the campus of Washington
University in St. Louis.
The men's basketball team from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, is
visiting WUSTL through Sunday, Dec. 5, to take part in the 27th annual
Lopata Classic basketball tournament.
“When we started the Lopata Classic tournament, we wanted to bring good
academic institutions here and let them compete athletically,” says Mark
Edwards, head coach of the reigning Division III national championship WUSTL
men's basketball team.
“At the same time, we wanted to provide all participating teams an
experience outside of athletics,” he says. “I think having the Tsinghua
team here will add another level of interaction that everyone will benefit
from.”
While teams from Chinese universities do come to play in the United States,
this situation is unique in that is it not a tour. Tsinghua University is
here at the invitation of WUSTL and will not be playing any more games in
the United States.
“As far as I know, this is the first time a team from China in any sport
has come to play in the St. Louis area,” Edwards says.
The Lopata Classic will be held Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3 and 4, in the
Athletic Complex Field House. It is a four-team tournament that includes
teams from WUSTL, Tsinghua, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges and Franklin &
Marshall College. The Bears will take on Tsinghua at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3.
Tsinghua is one of nine universities in the C9 League in China. Established
in 1911, the school describes itself as being dedicated to academic
excellence, the well-being of Chinese society and to global development.
It is consistently ranked as one of the best universities in mainland China.
Tsinghua University is one of 25 partner institutions through WUSTL's
McDonnell International Scholars Academy.
“The invitation to the Tsinghua University men's basketball team, even
though it is not strictly an academic endeavor, nevertheless falls under
what I feel to be a worthwhile goal of increasing awareness, interaction and
friendship of the students at our two schools,” says Frank Yin, PhD, the
Stephen F. and Camilla T. Brauer Distinguished Professor, chair of the
Department of Biomedical Engineering in the School of Engineering & Applied
Science and McDonnell Academy ambassador to Tsinghua University.
While here, the Chinese players will meet with WUSTL students; tour the
Gateway Arch, the Anheuser-Busch brewery and Busch Stadium; take in a St.
Louis Blues hockey game; and sit in on a few classes.
The WUSTL and Tsinghua teams will hold a joint practice run by coaches of
both teams at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30.
Tsinghua University has an enrollment of 26,746. The basketball team, which
had a 19-2 record last season, is coached by Bo Li.
As one of China's most renowned universities, Tsinghua has become an
important institution for fostering talent and scientific research.
The Lopata Classic is made possible by a gift from the late Stanley Lopata,
a Washington University alumnus and emeritus trustee, and his wife, Lucy.
President of Lopata Research and Development Corporation, Stanley Lopata
founded and was chairman emeritus of the St. Louis-based Carboline Corp. He
also was past president of WUSTL's William Greenleaf Eliot Society and a
recipient of the society's prestigious Search Award.
