The Pitt basketball team is traveling to Ireland this Summer to participate in several games against national teams. They'll also be meeting up with Ireland ambassador Dan Rooney in the process. Perhaps the most important aspect for Pitt fans to look at is that the team will play six games over eight days. It's really going to be a grind and it will be interesting to see how they fare. This should be a great tuneup for the season. Here's the full itinerary and it's loaded.

Apparently incoming freshmen J.J. Moore and Cameron Wright will be able to participate as long as they pass three credit hours over the Summer term. Since that's only the equivalent of one standard class, I'm assuming it won't be a problem.
