FIBA Europe
They've got a site up for EuroLeague, EuroCup and EuroBasket. Box scores, standings, whatnot, right here.
Good stuff.
Becky Hammon (listed as Rebekka Linn Khammon) plays for CSKA Moscow but didn't play the last game. Just a note.
And the Russian league is just STACKED. Geez. *shakes head* Crazy stuff. I'd love to watch the UMMC Ekaterinburg vs Spartak Moscow game.
Go Colts!
