Michigan's Final Game in Greece Cut Short When Power Goes Out
We were beating AO Mykonos at the half, 49-38, and then the power went out in the building so it ended there. I haven't seen a box score. STORY.
There's a video of our layup line on the AO Mykonos Twitter page, but you might not want to go there because they awkwardly refer to us as "Michigan State" in one of their tweets. Damn you, AO Mykonos!

I completely understand their embarrassment losing at halftime to Michigan State. I would pull the plug on the power in that situation.

Myknonos, huh? So maybe the Spartans beat the Spartans.
May it ever be thus.

Here's the MGoBlue account of Days 7 & 8, with pictures and a brief discussion of their activities.
This has a different account, that Mykonos had injuries so the teams agreed to play 2 quarters.

Having Michigan State drop 49 by half is embarrassing in its self.

All I can say is that I know from extensive professional experience that storms are weird.

I believe they haven't released any box scores.

I left for Greece this time last year. I absolutely loved it there. I really hope the team is having a great time!

All teams are beautiful in the dark.

Will Tschetter led us in scoring with nine points! Feed the big man!
And it's pretty funny that the two teams seem to disagree as to why the game was stopped at the half. Mykonos said it was because a storm knocked out the power and Michigan said it was because Mykonos had too many injured guys so they mutually agreed to only play a half.
I think Hawaii and UConn might try to strike that same deal in a few weeks.

It was because Tschetter shot the lights out.

One photo shows the team assembled in a room with a glass wall revealing an amazing view of the Aegean sea and the Greek islands and half the guys have their heads down looking at their f$%ing phones!
On the positive side great to see Isiah Barnes's name popping up on the stat sheet.

Who was the gyro of the game?
