Foreign trip

[Ulla1]

Thought there should be a thread on the trip. Today the team is learning about the national game of Irelend, Hurling. Brought to mind hurling following a fraternity party; probably not the same. OSC

 

[MrTbone]

They need more helmets...

Rebecca Barry can teach them a thing or two about hurling.She is in Ireland now.As this UR video shows,it's a hurling move which gained national viewing and an ESPN Top10.

Awesome experience for the team! OSC

 

[spiderman]

very cool. imagine you just graduated high school, about to go to college, maybe never travelled outside the US, and you're suddenly shooting skeet in Ireland.

 

[urmite]

Does anyone see Nick in the ending group shot? Or am I missing it?

 

[SFspidur]

I don't see him in the photo, but he's on the trip. Maybe he took the photo or had to run to the water closet.

Yeah, but I always want to see more of all of the guys for instance like this

 

[spider fan]

Wow- what a fantastic experience for our coaches and team on the Emerald Isle! It is "cool" being there in more than one way....................

There was/is an effort to do so, but have not yet seen evidence streaming will occur. OSC

I think it is important to remember the goal of these exhibition games is not necessarily to win. Mooney will be trying out different lineups, and different plays that may not give us the best chance to win, but are important for determining what we will do during the regular season and what needs to be worked on. The other team may be doing the same thing. Take the results with a grain of salt.

Actually the grain of salt cuts both ways . Whether good or bad, it may not directly translate to the regular season as a whole.

Conor Smith lit it up in Spain, then never saw the floor. These trips are very cool for the team but the games don't mean anything. Still ... I'd love to watch a live feed!

Thanks for the link, looks like Grant (for Cline, foul trouble) and DMB (for JJ) are the first subs in.

Soon Kwesi comes in for Wood.

 

[Eight Legger]

So far, we have missed approximately every shot we have taken inside of 5 feet...

 

[SpiderHoops32]

We still suck at FTs....

 

[spider fan]

Good thing is opponent is doing the same...............who is the lady talking to the young child sitting very close to the mike?

 

[SpiderK]

I hear Paul still out?

 

[SpiderK]

Is that all they are going to show?

 

[SpiderHoops32]

I hear Paul still out?

Yeah he is on the sideline in khakis

 

[spiderman]

woa, that's a big dude.

 

[Eight Legger]

I don't recognize #7 for us. Fore? My connection is very bad here for some reason. Any help?

 

[Eight Legger]

Ireland paying some guy $20 before the game to line the inside of our rim with Vaseline is really paying off for them so far....

 

[spiderman]

my connection is bad too, but better than nothing. yeah, 7 is Khwan.

 

[Eight Legger]

Ok, finally got to see Fore's face, and he is wearing #7.

 

[spiderman]

Sherod with the leaner at the 3rd QTR buzzer.

 

[spider fan]

Difficult to figure out the score other than knowing that Shawn'Dre was lighting it up.

 

[urmite]

69-63 Spiders Final?

 

[coachfezz]

Was that recorded by a 1980's era camcorder?

It was Betamax...

 

[Ulla1]

Thought the little old lady did a great job. OSC

 

[SpiderK]

They let the guys pick whatever number they wanted for this trip. Grant scored 4 and Sherod 11. Buck played solid minutes and was going strong to basket. SDJ looked like he could play for anybody. TJ was TJ, looking to involve everyone with his passing. FT shooting has a long way to go. Fore handled the ball well and the new big fella had 6 rebounds. Not rose colored glasses, I saw all the other stuff, but it's early.
