Another former BU player signs pro contract

[Da Coach]

We've learned that one of the stars of Bradley's 2005-2006 Sweet 16 team, Tony Bennett, will play for Kaarinan URA Basket of the First Division of the Finnish Pro basketball league.

Tony played last year in the ABA for a couple different teams.

Does anyone know how to get a translation from Finnish to English?

Good for Tony! He's one of my favorite BU player for his heart, fire, and desire. I am glad he's moved on from the ABA. He can do much better than that joke of a league.

Great for TB.
