Former BYU star Eric Mika is staying in Italy for his second season of professional basketball, but he is joining a new team.

Basket Brescia Leonessa announced that Mika has signed a one-year contract.

"Basket Brescia Leonessa is one of 24 teams that has qualified to play in EuroCup along with teams from Spain, France, Germany and Turkey among others," according to jmoneysports. "That would make for a much more challenging schedule with Cup games being played alongside the Italian League schedule."
