Stony Brook, N.Y. - In conjunction with Basketball Travelers, the Stony Brook men's basketball team has announced its 10-day European tour, head coach Steve Pikiell said Friday. The Seawolves will travel to Munich, Germany before visiting the Italian cities of Rome, Bologna, Florence, Pisa and Venice.

"This trip to Europe is going to be one of the greatest experiences of our student-athletes' lives," Pikiell said. "In addition to facing great competition, our players will gain important cultural experiences through some of the world's most intriguing sites and the enjoyment of learning about some of history's exciting attractions. I'm excited for our players to represent Stony Brook University abroad."

In addition to experiencing the sites and sounds of some of Europe's most exciting cities, Stony Brook will play a total of five games -- one in Germany and four in Italy.

Stony Brook will play its first game against the TUS Bad Aibling Fireballs, which won the Bavarian Championship last season.

The Seawolves will open competition in Rome against Haukar Basket, a team that competes in the first division in Iceland. Two days later, Stony Brook will face an Italian Select team in Florence and Pisa. The exhibition slate concludes against the Vicenza Select in Vicenza.

Some of the exciting sights and sounds include a tour of Munich, the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and much more.

Stony Brook Athletics will provide exclusive content of the trip with blogs, photo galleries and videos on StonyBrookAthletics.com. Be sure to follow the men's basketball team social media accounts on Twitter (@StonyBrookMBB) and Instagram (stonybrook_mbb).
