We didn't have anything planned to as far as sight seeing or anything. Our coach decided that after a long day of travel all the guys could use a day of relaxation. Most the guys got breakfast at the hotel and hung around the hotel to rest their legs. A few of us just walked around for a little to buy some souvenirs from all the little shops around the hotel.
Our game today was against the club that Toni Kukoć played at while he was in Croatia. It was an awesome place to play in! They had the banners up from the three Europski Kup Prvaka that they won while he was there. There were also a lot of posters in the gym of him and his team from when they won their championships. The place was called Kosarkaski klub (Basketball Club) Spilt. As you can tell they were very creative with the name. This team was a lot better than the first team we played. The first quarter did not go well for us and we gave up 27 points in the 10 minute quarter. By halftime we got the game within one point. We were playing with a lot more energy in the second quarter and the rest of the game than we were the first quarter. With about 3 minutes left in the game we were up 5 points. Sadly we couldn't hang on to the lead and they hit some threes down the stretch. We ended up losing 84-77. It was a good game for us though because we figured out how hard we have to play in order to win. The games keep getting harder from here but I think we are ready for the challenge.
