Summer Bahamas Trip

[isucy86]

I can't recall this info being posted, but the MBB team is taking a summer trip to Bahamas in early August.

They will play international teams prepping for FIBA Championships. Sounds like a lot better competition than usual summer tours.

I’ve been looking for an August vacation, this may be it.

I agree that I had not seen this. We are considering the Hawaii trip in 2024, but was this always the 2023 trip? Have been to Atlantis twice and enjoyed both trips (both pre-COVID). It seems to me this came out of nowhere.

This has been talked about on podcast but don’t recall if it was a story. This is taking the place of the traditional euro trip they do every 4 years. Probably saves the athletics department a little scratch on flights, hotels and leisure.

I did not know they would be playing FIBA teams or that these games would be open to the public. I wonder if I recognize any names on the Bahamian team.

Looks like Rick Fox no longer plays for Bahamas

Coincidentally Larry Eustachy coach them in 2014

Got room in your carry on?

Should be a great bonding opportunity to help gel the team and get them more experience playing together.

Noticed in OP that I did not include link to story on ISU website.

I have been thinking about getting new luggage. I’ll try and find one that expands and has a charging port.

Stupid question - but if I were to take vacation at the same time they were playing, is there anyway I could watch/buy tickets?

 

[cybychoice]

Anyone know if there is a way to watch these games/scrimmages?

The games are closed to the public, but honestly not sure about streaming opportunities. Sure someone will at least live tweet some stats and updates.

 

[Cyclones8824]

my understanding is that games will not be live streamed but some highlights will be posted

 

[ClonesFTW]

Was really hoping a link to a stream was going to be posted for this, darn.

Agree, I just want to know what the stats were like. Here’s to hoping Lipsey, king, Milan, and Omaha we’re 15-20 from deep
