The Hoyas play their first exhibition game of the season tomorrow in Beijing against the vaunted Shanxi Brave Dragons. The game is really a tune-up for a much more difficult match against the Bayi Rockets on Thursday. Not much else to report from China, other than Markel Starks having fun with his video camera.
Hopefully Georgetown puts up a better international showing than Villanova has this summer. The Wildcats have lost to Senegal (twice), The Netherlands, and Georgia (country, not school). They did, however, defeat Israel by two whole points. Syracuse was unable to take part in any international travel because they are not allowed to leave the state of New York until January.

“Syracuse was unable to take part in any international travel because they are not allowed to leave the state of New York until January.”
Is this a school sponsored trip?
Cuse players have been overseas on all star teams, they didn’t need a university sponsored trip to feel special and give you guys something to write about. Hey at least you will be the third best team in the A-10 not the tenth best team in the big east after the realignment. Awkwardddddddddd!!!!!

Really?
Teams are allowed to do these trips every four years. ’Cuse did this earlier, so that they could feel special about themselves, too.
And it’s a semicolon after teams, you need a hyphen between university and sponsored, you need a comma after Hey, there’s another hyphen between third and best, there’s another comma after A-10, there’s ANOTHER hyphen between tenth and best, there’s another comma after east, and Big East is usually capitalized.
Lol.....................
I work with a Cuse fan, he is strange in too many ways to mention!!!

ba zing!
Gotta love the content we’re getting from this trip with the pre-trip videos and in trip videos. Articles every day and Photos every day.
The fact that freshman are being allowed to participate in these movies and provide quotes in these articles even if it’s just from Georgetown is a refreshing change of pace.
Oh and please let's not freak out if we lose some games
We are playing against Professional teams. They will be bigger, stronger, and more experienced.
We like Nova are playing higher quality teams than most other groups on foreign tours do. So we’re not expected to run all over these guys.
Any word
on whether these games will be somehow broadcast?
none yet
It was said that they would try and stream them over the internet. Hopefully they’ll be able to do that for at least one.
Based on Markel’s videos linked above there appear to be some more professional videographers there. So maybe if they can’t get China to let them stream the games live they can put them up after the team gets home.
