The Israel Selects play again against the Kansas State Wildcats tonight at Hadar Yosef in Tel Aviv.

The Israel Select Team – featuring Orthodox Jewish hoopster Ryan Turell of the NBA G League’s Motor City Cruise – tipped off on Monday night against the Arizona Wildcats, with the American college basketball team coming away with a 124-77 victory before a crowd of nearly 1,000 fans in Tel Aviv.

Turell led all scorers with 30 points in the contest.

What was the goal of the trip?

The game was a key part of a larger trip to Israel and the UAE organized by the non-profit Athletes for Israel as an expansion of the ‘Birthright for College Basketball’ experience that Auburn took part in last summer.
