LSU opened up their Spain trip exhibition schedule on Thursday with a tough loss to the Dominican Republic National Team. Per LSUSports.net:

The game was the opener of the NCAA-allowed once-every-four-years exhibition tour of Spain by LSU against an older and more experienced team that is 18th in the FIBA World Poll and warming up for the FIBA World Cup in China that begins at the end of the month.

LSU was able to rally from 10 down in the third quarter, 64-54, and came all the way back to take the lead after an intentional foul on Javonte Smart led to two free throws and a Charles Manning Jr., put back on the in-bounds that gave LSU the lead for the first time in the second half at 81-80 with less than four minutes to play.

Marshall Graves, two possessions later, would drive the lane to give LSU an 85-82 advantage with 2:42 to play. From there, the Dominican Republic scored 10 points to LSU’s three for the final margin. Read more.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Michigan lost two of three exhibition games in Spain last season, but ended up 30-7 and made it to the Sweet Sixteen. They ended up losing to Texas Tech, which made it to the championship game.

I would get into the reason's why these National Teams should, and do, beat USA college teams, but I don't think you have the IQ to understand.

I bet you're a dumb country redneck that's never played basketball in your life. And don't respond to argue that point. I won't believe anything you say
