Basquet Manresa, plays in the top professional league in Spain – Liga ACB – which is considered by many to be the best professional league in the world outside of the NBA

“@StJohnsBBall: Here comes #SJUBB. @KarrSampson14, @sheedjordan ready for @bqmanresa at Saint Julia de Villatorta. Tip in 43 mins.”

“@StJohnsBBall: Lets do this! dharrison_52 and #SJUBB play in their final Euro game in 20 mins. http://Instagram.com/p/dr7AV3H9b0/”

Manresa's center is former Michigan center Josh Asselin.  I remember him being pretty decent.

Asselin averaged 7.3 points in 121 games at Michigan from 1997-2001. A four-year letterwinner, the 6-foot-11 center was fifth on Michigan's all-time shots blocked list at the end of his career.

Whatever this means?
