First, I'm surprised MIT is playing a D1 team again this season.  But, I'm also surprised the game would be at MIT.  Although the d3hoops schedule says it's at Harvard.

Do you know who else is playing in the RPI Tournament?  I didn't see their 09-10 schedule on the RPI site, but apparently RPI will be playing in a brand new arena this year.  Anyone know if MIT is playing in the first basketball game ever in the new arena?

There was a discussion about this on the Multi-region topics 2009-2010 schedules page yesterday.  I believe it is an error, as does Pat.  I heard about the game a while ago and I am almost certain it is at Harvard, unlesssomething changed and there is some reason that Harvard really wants to play at MIT (which I can think of any).

Jimmy Bartolotta has signed with an Italian sports agency, Two Points.  Most of the other players this agency represents play in the Italien Serie A, but there some in the D-League and top Greek and Australian leagues.  From what I hear, he hasnt signed with a team yet, likely because he is awaiting his Italian passport.

Any word on who showed up when MIT practices began?  They have had some issue with this in recent seasons.

From what I hear, everyone who is supposed to be there is still with the team.  A lot of the guys they got this year truly love the game, which was not always true with some of their recruits in the past.

Congrats to Jimmy Bartolotta for signing with Air Avellino of Italy's Serie A. The team had Demarcus Nelson (Duke), Dee Brown (Illinois), and Chevy Troutman (Pitt) on their roster last year, as well as Cenk Akyol of the Turkish national team (listed on eurobasket.com).

hugenerd, if any of Jimmy B's games are on the internet, I hope you let us know.

So it looks like the roster I was looking at was current, here is the Lega website:

http://195.56.77.208/team/?teamid=1183

Looks like the addition of Bartolotta will round out the Air Avellino roster at 15.  I assume that he received his Italian passport because it is awfully hard to play in Serie A as a purely foreign player (Chevy Troutman, DeMarcus Nelson, and Dee Brown all were at least all league 1st team in their respective d1 conferences and were in NBA camps before being waived, Brown actually played in the NBA quite a bit before finding his way to Europe).  From what I hear Bartolotta will join the team some time in the next week.  I havent found any releases yet on the web about the signing, but I heard it from a very credible source (his name is not listed on any roster yet).

I havent heard about any games on the web, but if I hear of anything I will pass it along.

Official site of Air Avellino, Bartolotta is on the front page:

http://www.scandonebasket.it/

(The front page cycles 3 headlines, the first is a picture of Bartolotta, the third is a picture of DeMarcus Nelson.  I think thats pretty cool)

In the release it says something about him only being with the team for a few weeks, so I am not sure if he signed the equivalent of a 10 day contract or what.
