Missouri seniors Marcus Denmon and Kim English were among 22 of the nation's top college basketball players to accepted invitations from the USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team Committee to attend the 2011 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team training camp.

The training camp, which will be held July 29-Aug. 7 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC) in Colorado Springs, Colo., will be used to select the 12-member team that will represent the USA at the 2011 World University Games men's basketball competition Aug. 13-23 in Shenzhen, China.

The USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team Committee, chaired by NCAA representative Jim Boeheim (head coach, Syracuse University), is expected to announce finalists for the 2011 USA World University Games Team on July 31.

Training camp will continue July 31-Aug. 7 at the USOTC, with the official roster being announced prior to the teams' departure for China on Aug. 8.

"After a lot of thought and consideration of potential players, the committee has put together a very strong roster for the USA Men's World University Games Team training camp," said Boeheim.

"As always, the committee will be looking for not only the most talented players, but also players that will work well as a team."

Denmon and English are just one of two sets of teammates to try out for this year's squad.

They join the Alabama duo of JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell. The other Big 12 representative is Texas A&M's Khris Middleton.
