We first had to bus five hours to Atlanta from Greensboro and THEN we had a very long nine hour flight to Milan. I'm one of the players that doesn't like to fly so a nine hour flight was a tough pill to swallow for me (no pun intended, since I took some medicine to make the flight a little bit better). My mom is with me on the trip so that helped too. :) Wed, 16 May 2007 04:00:00 GMT http://uncgspartans.com/sports/wbkb/2006-07/releases/0516_boone_postcard 2007-05-16T04:00:00Z http://uncgspartans.com/sports/wbkb/2006-07/releases/0516_italy_games SIRMIONE, Italy - UNC Greensboro's basketball teams opened their tour of Italy with a pair of wins over professional teams on Wednesday, the men defeating Ignus, 88-69, while the women's basketball team opened their 10-day tour of Italy with a 77-69 win over Italian Division 2 team New Polibasket San Bonifacio.
