The Bulldogs men's basketball team will begin a 10-day, four-game Summer Tour to Madrid, Spain Monday morning.

NCAA Division II Central Region champion University of Minnesota Duluth will play all Spanish club teams and will take in the sights of Madrid, Toledo, Valencia and Barcelona.

"Our program is extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity ahead," Bulldogs coach Justin Wieck told the UMDBulldogs.com. "This trip to Spain will benefit our team on the court, but more importantly will be an experience of a lifetime. Our student-athletes get a chance to visit three of the most beautiful cities in the world, experience a new culture, and create lifelong memories with their teammates. We look forward to the tough competition and experience ahead over the next 10 days."

The NCAA allows teams to participate in international trips once every four years.
