We'll be facing professional teams over there. Anyone have any idea about our chances of winning? I suspect we're going to take some lumps in those games.

UH played in Italy before the 2019-2020 season. Won all four of its games. The only one that was close was against BC Silute which is a Lithuanian pro team. Recent UH grad and All-American Marcus Sasser was the big break out star of the trip. Led the team in scoring a couple times as an incoming freshman. Was the first indicator that he was going to be a special player for us. Hope your guys have fun and represent the Big 12 well!

Between slim and none, andSlim left town.

I would like to think we'll do well in Italy, too, but we'll see. UCF has a history of playing well in early season tournaments. Last season, we won the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championship, beating Oklahoma State and Santa Clara to win it.
