USA Basketball got off to a good start in their Tour of Italy with a 77-47 win over the Italian National Team.

Big Syl and Taj were the leading scorers and Taj was perfect from the floor and the line.

Catchings: "We came out in the second half after talking in the locker room about USA Basketball and getting after it on the defensive end. We did a great job on the defensive end in the second half and our shots were going in so that always helps."
