Members of the DC/B'More Crew (l. to r.): Percy Woods, Jamal Olasewere, Thomas Robinson, Givon Crump, Terrell Vinson, Isaiah Phillmore and Andrew Fitzgerald.

After hooping and resting, the contingent headed to DC's ESPN Zone, where they ate and played the games that establishment offers. Afterward, it was back to back to the Westin Hotel for relaxation. Some even then got haircuts.
