 RAS AL KHAIMAH, United Arab Emirates (AP) - There's a vague notion on this tiny satellite campus of George Mason University that basketball is played by bouncing a ball and tossing it toward a hoop. It's also starting to sink in that classmates on the other side of the world have done something remarkable.
"Go, Mason, go!" yells 19-year-old Mohamed Eltigani, who was born in Sudan.
"Kun fi al-qimma!" campus receptionist Khawla Yousef screams in Arabic, which means "Reach the top!"
