I asked if they could do this a month or so ago on the board, glad they are planning to. Something to follow as well.

Seems like everything is going in the right direction for this team to be good.

With the number of new players and the limited amount of time they'll have practicing together before this trip it'll be interesting to see early on how everything is meshing together.

Trip will be to the Bahamas in mid-August with 2 games scheduled.

I would hope that they schedule more than 2 games?

What do we know about BC Mega?  Looks like they are in the midst of a tournament (semi-finals).  Looks like they also have a backup PG in Scoochie Smith who played under Archie at Dayton in 2017.

Sounds like it is only 2 games but perhaps more importantly is that we're allowed an additional 10 practices because of the trip.

Bahamas games will not be televised.   :-(

Slightly good news. Our opposition has a youtube channel (KK Mega Basket) and in 2018 they posted the entirety of their game in Atlantis vs Michigan by quarters the day after they played.

Which begs the question: "Why doesn't IU have a YT channel? Hmmm?" They have a Twitter channel where videos are posted regularly, why not a YT channel to keep everybody updated, or be able to review games?

Jeeze IU, get with it!

Get ready for results commensurate with us playing against a team of top division grown men. KK Mega had a pretty solid win against a very good Michigan team a few years ago:

IU athletics has one, the issue isn't IU televising or streaming the Atlantis games, it's the NCAAs archaic rules that make the Amish seem modern. If the rules are the same from when they played in Canada, they can only post a 2-3 minute highlight reel. Its so dumb.

Great research.

As @Stuhoo hints, don’t worry much about W/L here, this is a strong professional opponent. I’ll be checking the box for:

1. Who plays, and how much? Quite possible minutes are distributed very evenly, or IU’s best guys sit plenty so younger players get developmental minutes. But there may be interesting info in starters, closers, who plays with whom

2. how does IU shoot? And specifically how do Race and the guards shoot from 3?

3. Who plays with whom? We may not know this, but I’ll be curious if Phinisee plays the 1 at all, if Kopp plays much 4, who gets minutes at the 2-4 spots more generally.

4. how competitive is it? I don’t care if IU goes 0-2 but it’d  be nice if they got some close/late chances, and just played well enough to be competitive

You're right of course. But seems to me the "logical" compromise would be to let  non-TV games be streamed, and NCAA games be streamed 1-3 days after the event is over, and the TV viewing is completed.

SOP for NCAA evidently is "How stupid can we be?"

Not as stupid as MLB
