Anyone have info on the game schedule in Europe?
Probably going to have to wait till exhibition or early NC to see the gals. Not sure I recall seeing or hearing much more than a score or two from these in the past. These might be just glorified scrimmages. Seeing some video snippets would be fun but probably not very revealing.
My Gopher peeps are also going on one of these trips. Probably REALLY good for them with new coach and a number of new gals. Their 4th game of the NC will be UConn. Gophers only announced their trip on August 1st so it seems it was a last minute sort of thing. They did list their games and times though with teams being Split Select and Dubrovnik Select in Croatia and Athens Select in Greece. Last I saw officially from Cyclones.com was TBD.
Saw this from an article that popped in my Twitter feed. It's Bluder, which will annoy some here, but really is true about what these trips are all about.
“For me, these trips are about the extra summer practices you get than (the competition) over there,” Bluder said. “Because the competition is really different. Sometimes it’s really good — you’re playing national teams. And sometimes it’s awful. To me, the competition isn’t what really matters. It’s the practices you get now trying to get a head-start on next year.” - Sports Illustrated
