Hawkeye Hoopsters Vacationing in Europe

The Iowa basketball team will get some much-needed extra practice this summer as they travel to Italy and Greece for a 10-day overseas trip. The Hawks will play four exhibition games, one in Rome and three in Greece, playing against older, more experienced professional teams. The Hawks will also be able to have 10 full team practices.

Every four years, the NCAA allows men's and women's teams to travel overseas and compete.

"We know we're going against professionals," Devan Bawinkel said on Hawkeyesports.com. "We've got to improve ourselves to get to that level. I think we can compete with them."
