They have 10 players for 2 teams, 3 bigs. One team would have to have 2 bigs at the same time.

True,  though I would gave guessed that morrow and another big would be the usual pair up

Does anyone know the dates and times and locations of the games?

Livestream?

No and No....

In their infinite wisdom, MUBB has decided not to announce the date and time of the games nor to stream. DePaul has, though.  A big BOO!

This has to be one of the most baffling decisions in ages. Even if you give one of the student managers an internet-connected camera with Periscope capability, that would be better than nothing, wouldn't it? I'm completely bewildered why they didn't decide to do something.

I have a feeling the decision against streaming isn't about cost, logistics or effort. Just a guess, but maybe Wojo and the staff want to focus 100% on the team.

They only have 3 games in 10 days, where other foreign tours play up to 5 games. It could be the #1 goal is building camaraderie and making this trip a great experience for the players -- rather than on-court performance. (They'll probably win by 30+ against the low level of competition they'll face.) It might also lessen the pressure of fan expectations early on.

I'll definitely miss watching the games. Who knows? Maybe they'll change their minds and decide to stream them.

I agree that it's a conscious decision for undetermined reasons.  I'll try to ask someone when I get a chance simply to determine that and not 'why' if they aren't up for sharing.

When's the first game?

It's apparent that MU is actively trying to increase the number of female season ticketholders this year.

Damn so no live coverage.

Implies there should be coverage for some of the other games though?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

This team they're playing any good?

This team they're playing any good?

Ohio State had to come back from 12 down to beat these Catalan All Stars last year, 68-66.  Have no idea if their roster makeup is the same this year.

Really disappointed these games aren't being streamed anywhere.
