The Aggies basketball account just posted this brief twitter travelog of the trip-

It appears that freshman Jac Mani, who was dressed in street clothes in the photos after games 1 & 2, was in uniform in the photos after games 3 & 4. That's good news. We don't know if he actually played, though. The only info is from the tweets by someone on the UC Davis Men’s Basketball twitter account. The basketball website has been strangely silent, maybe since everyone was in Europe with the team. Now that they are back home, it would be nice if the athletic department communications people would post a summary of how they did in the 4 games overseas.

Let's hope it's a minor injury and he recovers. This team is not real deep inside, so we need him.
Good to see that he was able to make the trip, even if he doesn't play.

The Aggies improve to 2-0 on their international tour with a win over KK Kastela:

KK Kastela is a pro team in Split, Croatia in their 2nd tier pro league, and they had a winning record last season:

The team travels to Dubrovnik, Croatia tomorrow where they play the final 2 games of the tour.

It looks like freshman big man Jac Mani is in street clothes in the pictures that have been tweeted, so he probably isn't playing... maybe an injury?

It looks like he was playing in the practices from the picture on the team website from prior to the trip:

Coach Les needs to start working on Mani's younger brother, Jon Mani (their parents must have preferred the fewest possible consanants in their kids' names :) ).
He is a 2024 recruit who already has a Division I offer prior to his sophomore year.

At times last night, the term "winning ugly" came to mind. The game may not have been pretty, but I am loving the outcome.
On to the NCAA tournament! Congratulations to Coach Les and the entire team!

Go Aggies! Our turn this time!
