Knocking off some rust, and learning how to play without some of the players we lost from last year will be valuable regardless of the scores.

It's to bad Nick Babb can't go as the opportunity to travel with the team abroad only happens every four years so he won't get the opportunity. Since he will be a part of the practice team this season it's to bad he can't at least be one of the ones going but not able to play.

Is Georgios Tsalmpouris still playing with his national team? I didn't see anyone mention him but believe Prohm said he wouldn't be on the Spain trip. I just hope with such a few players able to play that none of the players get injured.

I'm not liking this trip now That we only have 6 players. Hope no one gets injured from having to play too many minutes.

I'll go. I can eat up minutes and dominate the ball, aka bring the "O" to a grinding halt. Think about it Coach P.

Less team building than I expected with the low numbers. Frankly, the starters do not need the practice as much as the others.

6 scholarship players and 3 walkons. Ashton shoots like a scholarship player so that helps. Fred has rolled 7 deep before but all 8 will play in these meaningless games.
Go ahead and list the nine actives.

It is really great that Cooke is ready to play on this trip.

Agreed. This can give Hallace actual game action against competition with Monte, Jamaal and McKay and the staff a feel for how he fits best.
Too bad that Burton isn't able play on this trip to get the same experience, especially since he's likely going to miss most the Non-Conferene schedule.

I'm not terribly worried about injuries, but the way it has worked out, this trip would have been better a year from now when the roster turns over. This year's team shouldn't be lacking chemistry.

I think about the 30 for 30 about the fab 5. Those guys did not want to be on that trip.

One huge advantage this year is chemistry between the players and a new coach. The in-game experience between the two is huge going into a new season.
