The annual tour, headed this year by Illinois coach Bruce Weber, will play five games in Spain from Aug. 9-19. The 6-8, 270-pound Killingsworth, who played at Auburn his previous three seasons, is excited to step back on the court and compete after having to sit out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. "I'm really excited about going on the Foreign Tour and even more excited to finally get back on the court," Killingsworth said. "I get a chance to get myself back into basketball shape and get used to playing with referees again. I think it will be a great experience and will give me the chance to get back into shape and improve my game." Killingsworth became just the 10th player in Auburn history to record 1,000 career points and 500 career rebounds in only three seasons. He led the Tigers in scoring (13.7 ppg) and rebounding (6.9 rpg) in 2003-04 on his way to all-league accolades. He also earned All-SEC honors after his sophomore season when he averaged 13.3 points and 6.4 boards. Killingsworth highlights a group of talented newcomers joining the Hoosiers in 2005-06. Killingsworth's teammate Lewis Monroe, junior college transfer Earl Calloway and true freshmen Ben Allen and Joey Shaw all bring impressive resumes to IU and each are capable of immediately making an impact. Joining Killingsworth on the team are 11 other student-athletes from 11 different league schools. The 2005 Foreign Tour Team will include a pair of Weber's own players in guards Calvin Brock and Brian Randle. Two other guards making the trip include Iowa's Mike Henderson and Northwestern's Evan Seacat. In addition to Killingsworth, five other forwards will make the trip as Michigan's Ron Coleman, Ohio State's Matt Terwilliger, Penn State's Brandon Hassell, Purdue's Matt Kiefer and Wisconsin's Jason Chappell will also make the trip to Spain. Weber will also have two centers to choose from in Michigan State's Goran Suton and Minnesota's Spencer Tollackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
