Badmus headed (far) east
Chris McNaughton may have been cut from the German national team, but Bucknell will still be represented at the FIBA World Championships next month in Japan.

Point guard Abe Badmus has made the Nigerian squad that will compete in the world championships. This is Badmus' second go around with the D Tigers. Last summer he helped Nigeria to a third place finish in the FIBA Africa Cup, which qualified the team for the world championships.

Badmus is currently back in Lewisburg for a few days, working out at Bucknell during a brief break from the Nigerian team's training camp. The team has spent the past few weeks training in Las Vegas and was planning to tune up for the world games at a four-team tournament in Turkey.

Those plans changed due to the ongoing unrest in the Middle East. Instead, the team will re-gather next week in Dallas, where they hope to get some exhibitions with some NBA summer squads before leaving for Japan
