Aboya on national team

| | Comments (0) |

I ran into UCLA junior power forward/center Alfred Aboya on campus and he said he is playing for Cameroon's national team in July's Olympic qualifying tournament, but that has no bearing on whether he returns to UCLA for his senior season.
Aboya said his decision to play for Cameroon does not impact his ability to graduate after UCLA's first summer session. The 12-team tournament will be played July 14-20 in Athens, Greece, and three teams will qualify for Olympic games in China later in the summer.
Cameroon is grouped with Croatia an Puerto Rico. After a round-robin, the top two teams advance to knockout play. The two countries reaching the title game receive bids to the Olympics, as does the winner of a game pitting the two losers of the semifinals.
Aboya said he still has not decided whether or not he will leave UCLA after the summer to pursue his master's degree.
Aboya added he was unsure if teammate and countryman Luc Richard Mbah a Moute was also playing.
