FW_Hoosier Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 This will be awesome... Here’s hoping we don’t just get box scores and actually get to watch. Should be good for team chemistry with all the newcomers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we have these type of trips every summer...how great of a selling point to potential recruits is we will be playing in the Bahamas, Maui, Europe...

I googled this BC Mega team to see what was out there about them. When you google BC Mega it takes you to KK Mega, it seems like they are the same. They are a professional team and they are playing in the semifinals of the Serbian League tomorrow. They have about three guys named Nikola and Scoochie Smith who played for Archie at Dayton.

IU878176 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 100% happy we are doing this but did I correctly read that we are playing 2 games? I would have assumed an international trip would include multiple teams and 6-8 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fundamentals Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Games are bonus. The goals seem to be building relationships on the team and 10 full squad practices. Currently, coaches are only permitted time with 6 players at a time and 4 hours per week of group instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Another great move by this staff and Admin. The 10 team practices are priceless with a whole new system going in on both ends of the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 I don't know if the Student broadcast would be an option for this, but if it was and I was in that program, I'd be lobbying to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. They could stream it on an IU athletics website and do a behind the scenes on the B1G network. A lot of us would love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering how well a 6’8” point is going to be able to stay in front of our guards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Only downside to Bahamas in August is right in the middle of Hurricane season. Otherwise this move has smart written all over it. 10 practices and games with a new coach/system? Really, really good stuff....plus with what the kids had to deal with this last year? They deserve trips like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it last all summer into late fall...but I wouldn’t let that be a deterrent. Chances are small that anything will happen. Bahamas get hit once every 4 years and few category 4 or above in the past two hundred years...like handful. I wouldn’t let it hold them back from what should be an incredible experience.
