VALENCIA, Spain -- u200bThe past two days have been a whirlwind of action. We kicked things off Sunday with an early-morning victory in Albacete, where the local children bargained for Sean McDermott's and Campbell Donovan's game-worn socks afterward.
It was neat to interact with the players and kids, trading gear back and forth. I was able to snag a yellow Albacete soccer jersey for my younger brother in exchange for a Butler basketball shirt. After our game, we traveled about two hours to the beautiful city of Valencia.
