Michigan B-Ball in Italy Schedule Set
A schedule of four basketball games over 8 days in Italy has been released. The translation from Italian into English is . . . intriguing. This is a grammar Nazi's delight.
“After winning the Big Ten title, qualified to the NCAA tournament, where reached the Elite Eight and saw their journey interrupted by Uconn, then won the title. The Wolverines have undergone considerable changes over the summer, in fact, four players were chosen by reference to NBA teams (Nick Stauskas at all with the choice of n. 8), confirming the high quality of the basketball program. It is thanks to the great tradition, and excellent recruiting system, important that these departures will be replaced by more prospects coming from High School. Among the experts is rumored to Kameron Chatman, DJ Wilson and Ricky Doyle, the NCAA will be a brief period before joining the league in which they are intended: the NBA. There are all the ingredients for a spectacular game, where the protagonist will be stronger than any college edition of College Basketball Tour.”
Here is the schedule:
Aug. 17 vs. the Perugia All Star Men in Rome, Aug. 19 vs. The Big All Star Men at the Vicenza Palazzetto dello Sport, Aug. 20 vs. the Opitergium Spartans Men at the Vicenza Palazzetto dello Sport, and Aug. 22 vs. Mantova Stings in Mantua (Matova).

Crowd source: would it be worth changing my travel schedule to try and watch it?
Hell yes it would. You'd get to get the first glimpse of 2014/2015 M hoops. And then you could give us a detailed breakdown of how they looked. Change your plans.
Couldn't he just stream the entire game for us to watch?
Bball in a month - woo. We wont see any of this on TV right?

That is me crying for you.
Ugh my yacht will be docked in Monaco that week and I need to be in Geneva the morning after the last game to meet with my banker. For shame.
OP is not WolverineDevotee so I'm not sure if I can trust this bit of news.
So it isnt just the grammar Nazi, it's also the factual Nazi.
University of Conntucky.
LeVert is going to miss these games correct? Hope his rehab is going well.
The last I saw (this article from 7/10), Beilein is still expecting him back in time for the Italy tour.
After winning the Big Ten title, qualified to the NCAA tournament, where reached the Elite Eight and saw their journey interrupted by Uconn, then won the title.
Who cares about grammar, this says we won the title!

We are bound to be double-digit underdogs on the 19th.
The Big All Star Men? I know which team will be my new adopted Italian basketball club.
Have never seen either happen for previous overseas trips. There will probably be some highlight videos posted at mgoblue.com.
I think there will definitely be more than just short write-ups of the games. Check out the mgoblue.com page from the last trip four years ago. They provided some decent coverage but no videos. I was just guessing they might post some highlights this time around. That's what the women's team did last summer on their Euro trip.
Who the hell typed this?
Even in Italy we play the Spartans.
