Summer exhibition basketball tours

[tornado]

A group of college players are on an exhibition tour in Europe calling themselves the East Coast All-Stars and playing some Euro teams..
they won their first game last night in Estonia, 104-61 against Viimsi Spordikeskuss.

Many of the players are not from the East Coast as Iowa's Matt Gatens scored 15 and Bryce Cartwright had 10
Wisconsin's Mike Bruesewitz also had 15
Syracuse's Baye Keita had 11 points and 17 rebounds off al those missed Viimsi shots and Brandon Triche had 13,
as all 10 players on the All-Stars had at least one basket.

Here's their schedule and roster...

any such scrimmage against another D-I squad might have to be a closed scrimmage with no press coverage according to NCAA rules

NCAA has granted permission for Illinois to play West Virginia but --
it will be on a US army base in Italy and NO spectators or other personnel other than team personnel and troops from the base will be allowed

That's good for the troops. Give them a little taste of home.

I am still trying to figure out how this Michigan St. vs UNC on an aircraft carrier will go. Ithink it goes without saying, but the thing will have to be docked right?

[Da Coach]

No, i think it will be at sea. Aircraft carriers rarely dock because of their size. They are so large that there is not much motion while they cruise.
