EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern redshirt junior Aaron Falzon will hit the hardwood and represent Malta at the 2018 FIBA European Championship for Small Countries this summer in Serravalle, San Marino.
The 2018 FIBA European Championship for Small Countries opens June 26 and runs through July 1. Malta is joined in Group B by Andorra and Ireland, while Group A is comprised of San Marino, Gibraltar, Moldova and Norway.
