MADRID, Spain – There is news on the first day after the LSU Tigers arrived here in Madrid for this exhibition college basketball tour in Spain.
As sometimes happens in these type of tours, games can be rearranged and rescheduled and so on Thursday night in the opening game in Madrid there has been an opponent change and an apparent upgrade in the type of team the Tigers will face.
LSU will now face the Dominican Republic national team which is presently ranked No. 18 in the FIBA World Rankings and a team that has already qualified for the 2019 FIBA World Cup which begins at the end of August in China.
