[Dave from Dayton]

I'm gone.  Celtic Festival in downtown Dayton.   3 stages and dancers, bands, and beers!  Erin go bragh!    

Sure hope that IU prevails today.

Wait!  Brazilian beach volleyball...women's?!   Ipanema?

[LIHoosier]

'Sam Alexis don't give it like that...mmph!'
I assume that's what the Spanish announcer just yelled.

Just flipped the feed on and it’s another 50pt blowout. I think this tournament was a smart way to back door in summer practice for a new team and a free vacation for the coaches’ wives. If the agentina and brazil teams suck this bad, there’s little point in the games. 
 

Side note—if theybrought Alexis back for this, they must be trying to get him for a 5th year which would be great (obviously).

The score has clearly gotten out of control:

Sloppy 2nd half but love the hustle

[Stuhoo]

Even in this slop fest, Harris is kinda rough. Welcome to the primary rotation, Prince-Alex Moody.

Analytics tells you to only take attempts at the 25 point basket.

No, that’s accurate

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

I get it that the level of competition is definitely weak, but our team was sent to these games to represent the U.S. and it wasn't us that scheduled the games and determined who we were going to play.

In other words…

more Brazilian women’s beach volleyball, please.

Nice to have had the bonding experience of the foreign trip and more importantly a summer full of practices.

Glad IU has scheduled scrimmages with Western Kentucky, Butler, and UNC to really ramp things up as the season approaches. 

[Stuhoo]

Karvala getting all Troy Williams-lob finish-ey in garbage time.

Winker and Stephens both dinged? Not seeing them in garbage time.

Karvala is my tournament MVP so far. He is a gamer

Yeah, I think those will help.  This is a bonding experience but I think it is pretty clear that the competition level isn't even close to D1.
