Expat Hoops Updates

[GSII]

The Virus was the first real pandemic to hit the Mason campus. Also, is what made its response to covid one of the best among universities in the country.

Would be interested to know if he ever has Mason fans show up to his euro games. I got my family tickets to a Dijon playoff game in 2019 when we were going to be in France about an hour away, but we were delayed and not ultimately able to make it to the game. We were gonna be decked out in Mason gear/fear the beard shirts right behind the team bench

I still get marketing emails from the team but they are all in French and I don't know how to unsubscribe.

He loves Puerto Rico and wants to play there again. That's not a bad spot to go to watch his game...

 

[Expat Hoops]

Tomorrow (3/6) we will be dropping our first "Day in the Life" with one of our past guests/friends of the pod Devin Oliver. We would love for you to check it out as it's a great look at his game day routine.

We'll also ask the boards which Mason player (or players) you'd like to see us do a "Day in the Life" with next.

Not an update per se...but we had Tony Skinn on as our first guest when we started the pod. He was our first ask, and he said yes without hesitation. His pro career is worth listening to, and we're reposting it below.

Don’t mean to clutter up your thread, but thought it was germane to the spirit of your podcast and pretty cool that we can actually watch EuroLeague games in the US now:

No, quite alright. We tweeted that news out earlier too. There are actually a good amount of leagues you can watch now. (Romania and Australia come to mind).

EuroLeague has been one that has been behind a paywall with kind of high prices. Good to see they're moving towards making more available towards an American/international audience.

Saw Jalen's put back buzzer beater against Davidson a few years ago.
It was great shutting down the big mouth Davidson fans behind us.

Jalen Jenkins' full pod will be out Monday morning at 9 AM EST. You can click the link below and hit the bell to be notified when it goes live.

We had a great time catching up with Jalen. This was actually an interview a while in the making as we had initially planned on doing it a couple years back but then he got injured. The story of his injury, how his previous club handled it, and how he landed with a good new club is something you shouldn't miss.

Since leaving Mason in 2017, this is where he's been around the world:

Started in Iceland w/ KR Reykjavik
Sweden w/ Uppsala
Bulgaria w/ Rilski Sportist
Belgium w/ Limburg United and then Telenet Giants Antwerp
Portugal w/ Imortal Luzigas and now Ovarense GAVEX.

We're giving the boards a look ahead to a part of the podcast. We asked Jalen about his usage at George Mason when Dave Paulsen came on board. If you may recall, he went from a starter to sort of a super sub when Paulsen came on board (while playing roughly the same amount of minutes as he had played the season prior).

You can view the below video right now, and the full podcast tomorrow morning at 9 am. As always, we welcome you all to interact with us in the comments on our videos!
