It looks like everyone's getting playing time, but does anyone know what starting lineup(s) have been used in Brazil?

RIO DE JANIERO, Brazil ---- The University of Northern Iowa men's basketball squad ran its mark to 4-0 in Brazil after notching a 95-37 victory over Botofogo on Friday.

"We had a pretty balanced attack tonight," UNI assistant coach P.J. Hogan said following the win. "The guys enjoyed some site-seeing in Rio yesterday and today, so it was good to see us play well after the bus ride to Rio. It was also nice to have everybody score that suited up tonight."

The Panthers' final game will take place Sunday against Fluminese at noon. The Panthers will return to Cedar Falls on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

UNI wins again. From what I've heard, Botofogo wasn't a very good team (obviously, UNI won by like 60). However, Fluminese was a really good team, but UNI really shot the ball well. Great trip so far and they return Tuesday to the states.

Teams that took their trips between 2006 and 2009 won an average of 22 games, and up from 20 the year before their tours. Interestingly, in the second year after taking the trip they gained nearly another two wins, to 23.6—leaving open the interpretation that residual benefits of the tours continued into the future.

The Shockers will play their final game of their 10-day Brazil trip on Monday when they face the Flumenesse Sports Club.


I'm guessing this is the same team that UNI played in the final game of their Brazil trip. The Panthers won that game 92-63.

Mark Emmert is now covering the UNI beat for the DMR this winter. If this article is any indication of Panther coverage by the DMR, it's a welcomed change. He's got a new article out about Coach Jacobson's thoughts about how the Brazil trip will pay dividends.
