"Came up short" is not how you usually describe a 26 point loss.
Interesting that it was Lars' former team. How much did he play on it 4 (or 5?) years ago?

He played on their younger development team. Not at this level.
The only thing I learned is that the athletic department department has reached new levels of incompetence by not providing a stream for any game. You think you have reached the bottom, but there is always farther to go.Big C said:Alkiadt said:calumnus said:oskidunker said:

This. Lars played on their "Pro-B" team. This was their Pro-A.
Most of the things we learned as a result of this trip were positive.

Not only was there no streams, but there were not even any boxscores. So what the heck could we learn? I know the loss was against a real German professional team, so that is expected, although I have no idea if they played their best players. I don't know anything about the Belgian team, how seriously they took the game, or the quality of the Belgian league.
So other than the games existing, tell me what we learned.

Yeah, the "no streaming" was pretty weak. Maybe they were all set to go, but then, at that first venue, the water came through the roof in and shorted out the streamer.
(that was a joke... some of my jokes lately are like the one about the roof: over somebody's head... "roof", get the tie in?)
I think we learned two things:
1. Some players look like they will be in the mix. Players we probably hadn't counted on. Talkin' about Newell and Bowser. That is probably good news.
2. Even though we can't stay with a better European "A" team, we can blow out a rag-tag collection of Belgians. So our "floor" is higher than what you might hear about from our most negative posters.
Lars is our only proven inside scorer so I expect he'll get plenty of chances if we can get him the ball.89Bear said:
Lars going for 14 is reason for optimism. Not bad against a bigger, older, and more experienced group.
I hope that signals good things for the season.

Too bad we didn't make a side trip to the Netherlands. We could have tried to arrange a game with the Haarlem Globetrotters.KoreAmBear said:
Love our two game Euro trip. I don't care about the loss, but we couldn't schedule more than 2 games? The point is to play a freaking a lot of games and gel. *Sigh*
This is a second league team. Probably would've lost by 50 to a Bundesliga team, which, to be fair, the vast majority of college basketball teams would too.Big C said:sluggo said:The only thing I learned is that the athletic department department has reached new levels of incompetence by not providing a stream for any game.
