European Game 3 v. Stella Azzurra

“@StJohnsBBall: CJ with another two and Sheed connects as well. They each have four pts and Gift is headed to the line for a pair. #SJUBB up 28-9 at U8.”

“@StJohnsBBall: Also, LUCA is THE MAN! RT @LucaVirgilio: @StJohnsBBall on the court in Stella Azzurra http://twitter.com/LucaVirgilio/status/372411691125850112/photo/1 #SJUBB”

Have any other D1 programs played against this Italian team?  Trying to gauge their level of play.

Stella Azzurra- Not much on them- http://basketball.eurobasket.com/team/Stella_Azzurra_Roma/5064

“@StJohnsBBall: Sheed shakes, bakes, fakes... And opens up the middle to find Chris OH-BEKPA for a two-handed SLAM! #SJUBB up 31-12 with 6:01 in the first.”

Their top player was born in 1998. Sanchez was born in 1988.

are you sure their top player is 15 years old?

This team barely beat the new Pope and five of his Cardinals last week. Went to OT.

LOL 

  These are scrimmages.. Don't read much into anything that transpires. Just hope the the team comes back healthy... My one and only concern.

Cupcakes are called cannolis in Italian bb.

“@StJohnsBBall: Karr feed from Branch upcoart, he has five points, and gives #SJUBB a 35-14 lead with 1:45 to play in the half. Timeout Stella Azzurra.”

Those jerseys are great looking. Of course, I did like the other ones as well.

“@StJohnsBBall: Branch to Dom to Branch and he connects underhanded, with two hands, high off glass and in! We say #CIRCUSMAXIMUS. Refs say #TRAVEL. #SJUBB”

Fratto getting a little bump in his pants?

Everyone seems to be getting involved, seems like STJ is really pasting these guys

If the link Moose posted is correct, yes.

“@StJohnsBBall: HOOOOOOP FROM DOWWWWNTOWN! Obekpa finds him on the wing, he hits from the Coliseum. #MAGNIFIQUE #SJUBB up 38-14, 6 ticks left.”

Could be their Jr team.  Could be the site hasnt updated with roster.  Who knows.

It appears Hooper can shoot.   

“@StJohnsBBall: He's 3-for-5 right now. All from 3. And none are vs. The Gun on this tour! #SJUBB RT @QSTJHoops: Tell us the truth. Does Hooper ever miss?”
