Hoops team will be traveling to Spain this summer and playing three exhibition games between Aug. 17th -26th.

https://umhoops.com/2018/06/26/michigan-announces-foreign-tour-spain/

University of Michigan David and Meredith Kaplan men?s basketball head coach John Beilein announced today (Tuesday, June 26) his 2018-19 Wolverine squad will participate in a foreign tour of Spain, Aug. 17-26, with stops in Madrid and Barcelona. While on the trip the Wolverines are scheduled to play three exhibition games.

?Having the opportunity to take a trip like this is going to make for a lasting memory for our players,? said Beilein. ?We are allowed to make these trips once every four years, so this will be our third trip in my time at Michigan. Each trip has proven to be a wonderful educational experience for our student-athletes. This will be a great opportunity to learn about the Spanish culture, as well as bond and grow together as a team. It will also assist us in our preparation for a very challenging 2018-19 schedule. We are very excited for Team 103; this is a fantastic way to start the upcoming season.?

Funded by private supporters through the U-M Athletic Development department, the foreign tour is the third for the Maize and Blue under Beilein, following trips to Belgium in 2010 and Italy in 2014. The NCAA allows programs to take a foreign tour every four years, and teams are granted 10 extra practices in the summer to prepare.

Further details will be released when available. Wolverine fans will be able to follow U-M?s trip to Spain via MGoBlue.com, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
 
will they be playing all pro teams or will they play the national team as well?


Beside Wagner, MAAR and the Duncan kid, did you lose anyone else? Matthews is coming back, right?
 
Playing our first game against the Madrid Generales today. Tied up at 39 at halftime.

Poole: 10 points
Brazdeikis: 8
Matthews: 7
Johns, Davis, and Brooks: 4 each
Teske: 2

Michigan going to Davis and Teske for easy baskets and now leading 53-46. In related news, the Generals only have one player over 6-8.
 
Well the Spanish version of hoops is ?los aros.?

So you weren?t linguistically consistent.

Every game thread I started last year began with "Hoops vs". I was simply continuing that format.

Also, I doubt most posters know what the Spanish version of hoops is off the top of their head.

Michigan outscored the Generals 23-12 in the 3rd quarter. Now leading 62-51 heading into the 4th. Two PG lineup opening this quarter with DeJulius and Brooks on the floor together with Matthews, Livers and Davis.
 
Sorry for using the Spanish version.

Well every opponent our guys played you used the name we call them in English right?


I didn?t know it off the top of my head either. I used the translator you linked to.

That was your mistake. You opened door for some smartass to pick up on MichChamp?s joke and run with it.

I expect nothing less.

Some nice moments for Eli Brooks on the offensive end early in the 4th quarter — a pump-fake, pull-up jumper from the top of the key and a hesitation-and-drive floater on the move.

2:33 left and Michigan up 74-65 — Saddi Washington checks Ignas Brazdeikis in at the 2 for Jordan Poole and immediately gets a Brazdeikis bucket on a driving, spinning layup.

Important to note the game was played under international rules with a longer 3 point line and shorter shot clock and with out coach Beilein who is still recovering from bypass surgery
