(2025) - G Aleksa Ristic to Indiana

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

The Serbian team made a valiant effort down 73-60 with 5:24 remaining but came up short losing 85-78 to the Italian squad.  Ristic played 36 min. and scored 8 pts on 3-11 FG; 1-5 on 3s; 1-2 FT; 4r; 7a; 5t.  One more game tomorrow and then he can get head to Bloomington.

So excited for these international players since they have done well recently in the NBA and college game. When did we last have a European player at IU? I may be too young (or too drunk atm) to remember

Guy-Marc Michel never had a bad game in an Indiana uniform.

Doubt he plays much if at all in PR given that he just got to IU, but maybe he'll get a little floor time
