Day 1 Recap (Tour of Colosseum)
ROME – The Bowling Green State University men's basketball team continued its Cultural Immersion Tour of Italy on Wednesday (Aug. 10) by participating in a walking tour of Rome. The team then concluded the day by defeating the Latina All-Stars, 96-76, in the first of BGSU's four games on the tour.
Each day, a member of the squad will break down the team's adventures, and recap the day. Today, junior guard Matt Fox – a native of Maumee, Ohio – talked about his enjoyment for the walking tour of Rome, and his excitement to be able to play basketball in Italy.
"I really liked the walking tour, where as yesterday we were on the bus most of the day. I liked getting hands on, and being able to see everything close up—that was fun. We got to see the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and the Piazza Navona. All of the fountains, and all of the art is just amazing out here. It has just been a great time. Just being in Rome is amazing in the first place, but being able to play basketball here just makes it even better. All the guys are ready to play. We are all excited to get out on the court, and show everyone what we got."
