Kyle Collinsworth

Nate Austin

Chase Fischer

Corbin Kaufusi

Cory Calvert

Jake Toolson

Kyle Davis

Jamal Aytes

Cooper Ainge

Jordan Chatman

Nick Emery

Zac Seljaas



Basically our whole team is going.

The Cougars open the trip Wednesday against Eurocolegio Casvi, and the team will also play Albacete Basket, the European Basketball Academy and CB Castelldefels in the trip through the cities of Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona.

Looks like we are playing some lower level competition.

Thanks for posting this Q. I look forward to seeing how this team comes together and this trip should tell us something.

Any idea on television ?

I'd imagine zero TV options.

This is great! Thanks for posting. I like what I see, albeit a meaningless summer game in the rain in Spain. I especially like what I am seeing in regards to the interior game with Austin, Kaufusi, Davis, and Aytes. Looks like Aytes is finally healthy and quite active considering the number of trips to the foul line. I am fairly optimistic about this team come November.

Strong rebounding by Aytes, Austin, KC (of course), Davis, Kaufusi. That should help right away. Yes we lost a guy who scored in bunches and was Mr. Consistent, but I think this years team has more potential from a defensive/rebounding standpoint. And may be just as potent on offense.

Did the other team have any legit size?

They won today 75-52. Nebraska is playing the same tour as we are but a day ahead. We are winning our games by about 5 points more than they are.



Albacete was one of the top teams in the Spain-EBA league in 2014-15, finishing with a record of 21-8 and was one of 16 out of 80 teams to advance to the EBA Final Stage playoff.

This would be interesting to follow during the season.

Game #3 not the best quality but it does look like they are playing better defense on rotations and applying pressure.

Any indications who is going to seize the guard minutes next to KC?

Basic summary-



Front court and KC dominate

Emery, Fischer and Chatman shot the ball well from deep

Bad free throw shooting and lots of turnovers
