As far as I know it won't be. Kind of a once-in-a-lifetime event. I plan on being there.

That's pretty awesome, how much are tickets. I don't know why, but for some reason I'm surprised Rondo is playing in this.

I don't know why, but for some reason I'm surprised Rondo is playing in this.

 

He may not be. I haven't read anything that says he has committed to playing in the game, but that doesn't mean that he won't.

Exhibition game to take place @ Rupp Arena on Monday night, August 15th. Cal's Dominican team will take on a group of former UK stars now playing in the NBA.

Will those guys on the Dominican team play for the Dominican team in the Olympics?

$15 for Upper Level, $25 for Lower Level is what I saw. Unknown price for the Premium Lower Level tickets.

If I'm not mistaking, they still have to qualify for the Olympics. This team will be playing in next month's FIBA Americas tournament.

Thanks. This Dominican teams seems like it could be the best Dominican team they have ever had.

It's been a perfect storm to organize this. Probably will never happen again in our lifetimes. Lockout, Cal coaching the Dominican team, enough UK players to field a team, etc.

 

Also surprised this hasn't grabbed more national media attention.
