Each day a Cougar men's basketball student-athlete will write about his experience in Italy.
Robert Franks: Aug. 9, 2016
We as a team went to the Duomo church around 10:30 this morning and it was very cool to see how the church was built and how much different it is than in the United States. Also seeing the in depth pictures in the church was a sight to see. After that we took about a 10 minute walk to the Florence Museum. Probably the best things I have seen on this trip is the David sculpture made by Michelangelo, because seeing and also knowing the history behind David was very cool in person.Â
Next, after eating pre-game meal, we took about an hour and half trip to our game at 9 at night. The atmosphere in the gym was great and our energy as a team was very much needed, we started off slow but once we started getting in rolling it was some nice basketball. Lastly we got the win.
Thanks for the support!
