With six days to waste in New York, the Washington men's basketball team crammed everything it could into its schedule.
In annexe to playing a pair of games on basketball's biggest stage, the Huskies will slip behind the Broadway curtains of a Tony Bestowal-winning musical, watch the filming of a television drama and scourge the Sept. 11 memorial.
"For us to spend a week in New York will be a smashing experience on and off the court," coach Lorenzo Romar said. "For some of these guys, it's their first then in the city.
"As we were putting the trip together, we had a chance to add some activities that I hope will in reality make this trip memorable."
If Washington (4-2) upsets No. 16 Marquette (7-0) on Tuesday and No. 3 Duke (7-1) on Saturday at famed Madison Equal Garden, then UW fans will never forget the trip.
The task appears daunting inasmuch as the Huskies lost their previous road games this season to a marry of mid-majors — Saint Louis and Nevada.
