After a four and one-half bus ride from Madrid, a way-too-large but scrumptious multi-course pre-game meal in a wonderful downtown restaurant, and hotel check-in -- we are now on the team bus headed to the game.

This will probably be the last game of our tour, given the events in Barcelona. The team will head back to Madrid on Monday morning. Most of the fans will continue on to Barcelona. They are still trying to schedule a make-up game in Madrid, but that probably will not happen.

More to come when we get to the arena.

This is a real basketball arena in comparison with the recreation center we played in last night. If the first game of this doubleheader is any indication, it will also be a step-up in competition. Oregon State's men's team is getting smoked by a local team.

Some local team wearing practice jerseys clobbered the Oregon State men, 114-70.

We have about 12 minutes before tip off. The other team appears to be smaller and less hefty than us, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Based on last night and today, it appears that railroad whistles are the convention in Europe rather than buzzers. They are loud and ear splitting.

Nice touch. A moment of silence prior to tip off.

Starters: Hillsman Williams Carter Jones Lumpkin.

We are obviously a lot better than this team, but I see a lot of really good things. For one thing, nobody is taking a play off. Everybody is hustling all the time.
