Game on Sunday!

Taylor's Dad sent an email making it easy for everyone to watch Taylor's next game, it's a big one!

Taylors next game is Sunday, 11/16/08 at 6:30 am Eastern time. They are playing Melilla which is the number 2 team in the League (Alicante is currently #1); also former team mate Keith Waleskowski now plays for Melilla.

Here is a link to the video stream:

http://www.febtv.com/

find the list of games on the right side; click on the "Lucentum Alicante" game; that will open up the video of the game inside the TV screen. Taylor is #15, usually wears high white socks with black ankle braces...

the roster is available at: http://www.eurobasket.com/team.asp?Cntry=ESP&Team=2004

the team website is: http://www.cblucentum.com/indice.htm

click on "El Equipo" (the team in Spanish) on the left to see the roster there...

Also there is an interesting website that I open and place beside the video stream on my monitor; it provides play by play narrative and a live box score; with several other tabs of data at the top...

http://baloncestoenvivo.feb.es/

click on the En Vivo button in the middle of the scoreboard and it will open up the live play by play, etc. for that game. You can pick the screen that gives you the best analysis; I like the live box score with running narrative under it; you can scroll back in the narrative if you miss something.

Sometimes one of the feeds is ahead of the other... makes it more interesting...

And finally, here is a link to the schedule (calendar) of games; be sure and change the season to 2008/2009 at the top right; you can see the dates and times of all future games; and by clicking on the tiny notebook in the front of games all ready played, you can view the box scores for that game:

A Happy Birthday to TAYLOR who celebrated yesterday!~  We hope he had a FABULOUS day in Spain!

A Note from Taylor

Hi everyone, Our home game this weekend was conflicting with a soccer game in Alicante so they changed the game to Saturday night at 830 pm. So for those of you who cant convert the time it would be 230pm eastern time. Hope everyone can watch!

Also... remember to VOTE today!

Update from Taylor

We won at home over the weekend by 15 points or so! We played better in the second half then in the first to keep the lead and win the game. It is our 6th straight (I think?) win! A couple of the players and their wives, children and families went out to eat after the game on Sunday. We had some cidra which is like hard apple cider. It was a lot of fun to get to know the guys more and meet their families!

We won the game before this home one by two in Vic. This Friday we are playing against Pat Carroll's team. He played with us last year.
Also? Our clocks have changed!

Close Game a Winner for Alicante!

A basket by Berni Hernandez in the final seconds secured an Alicante win against Breogan 79-78!  Taylor also had a three pointer in the game!  We caught in on Feb Tv and it was awesome!

Games in Spain

From Taylor:

We won at home on Sunday and played good defense. We are leaving today to travel to Lleida to play a game tomorrow which should be on www.febtv.com again. If you are able to watch it the game will be at 3 pm eastern time. This trip is about 6 and a half hour bus trip. We practice today, then eat as a team and leave to arrive at 10 pm!

Bump!

All of us here would like to wish Drew (Coppenrath) luck this weekend as he attends training camp for the Vermont Frost Heaves. After a very successful four years at University of Southern Maine we know he'll do well!
