Ninth in a series of ten to be posted by the start date for the 2011 AAU international tournament, January 20, 2011.
Pool I
1. Los Socios – Venezuela
2. CPI – NY
3. Virgin Islands
4. Aragua – Venezuela
Los Socios is one of only two teams to win the AAU International Tournament twice (the other being Mac’s). The Venezuelan squad won the event in 2002 and 2004, and was runner-up in 2003 and 2005. The team’s success has led to an increase in the number of teams from Venezuela, with a record 11 teams from the country this year.
CPI became the first ISC II team to make the Final Four, just a few years ago. The Virgin Islands have been sending teams since the early days of the tournament.
