In its tour of the Academy, the team visited the West Point Cemetary, witnessed demonstrations at the Combat Water Survival Swim Lab in Arvin Gymnasium and ate lunch with cadets at Washington Hall. The tour continued with a walk to Trophy Point, where the team posed for photos. The day ended with a two-hour practice at Christl Arena, where members of Team USA participated in shooting contests with members of Army’s men’s and women’s basketball teams. “You walk around this place and you just feel good about being an American. You feel a little bit more proud of being a USA Basketball player or coach. I love West Point. It is the foundation of who I am.” - DUKE MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH, 1969 WEST POINT GRADUATE MIKE KRZYZEWSKI MIKE KRZYZEWSKI “Every time I come back, my appreciation for the Corps of Cadets and what West Point is all about grows. When I come here, I leave with an amazing feeling about the place that people just couldn’t describe.” - ESPN ANALYST JAY BILAS “To see what the cadets’ day-to-day life is like and to see where most of that service starts is pretty amazing. They treated us well the whole day and gave us a huge applause in the Mess Hall. This is a day I’ll remember for a long time.” JAY BILAS - GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS GUARD STEPHEN CURRY “Having a chance to talk to the cadets and asking why they wanted to be here was a great experience. You watch all the organization and see the guidelines that everyone lives and operates by and how they work together is a really cool thing to see.” - ATLANTA HAWKS GUARD/FORWARD KYLE KORVER JAYSTEPHEN BILAS CURRY 2014 patriot league champions CHRISTL CAPSULE The 2014-15 campaign will mark the 25th season that the Donald W.
