jimmykc Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 I was able to watch some of this (thanks to a quick visit to Babble for a lesson in speaking Italian). Could someone post what numbers the players are wearing since I couldn't recognize all of them. Who was the player in the red headband? What number was Green wearing? I guess it was pretty good to put up 87 points with all of the missed layups so I am happy. When is the next game-Wednesday?? Quote

Expand Semi pro team that plays in Italy's third tier of professional basketball i believe. Whatever that means. Quote
hhcmatt Posted August 6, 2019 Report Posted August 6, 2019 The next team we play twice is BC Silute which plays in a 2nd tier Lithuanian league. Their team consists of locals ranging in age from 17-29 that don't slot into higher level and typically a few Americans who excelled playing Div II or NAIA ball. I think their season is over so I'm not sure how in flux their roster is. I suspect this will be the best team we play. It also looks like they play Illinois Wesleyan, Houston, Illinois State, Miami and BYU over the next couple of weeks. Quote
