LOL the Italians are going to school them.

It still fun to watch though. NBA players and Euroleauge guys versus BYU. Although, it should be noted BYU doesn't have 3 out of its 5 top players.

Since when did college basketball teams get to go over seas and play ball during the summer?

 

[Duck Rodgers]

I don't know, but usually you only get to play lower div teams or the Junior national teams or that level of ball. I think only 5 or 6 college teams have played in this tournament, and all but 1 were some composite All-Star teams.

Actually not playing too bad, only down 8 or 9 at half.

Nobody ever learn Greek by the way, it sounds terrible. I like listening to foreign languages usually, but that one makes me want to puke.

And BYU loses by 40.

NCAA allows these foreign summer trips every other summer. BYU got lucky to get into such a high-level event. Normally they do play fairly poor competion.
