Thanks, Pat. That’s awesome. What’s awesomer is that we’ve been granted the final that we all looked forward to: United States vs. Turkey. The traditional power against the home team. For starters I can tell you that BBC World Service is where you can catch the action, but if I come across a more direct link I’ll be sure to let everyone know. Please lend us your feedback either here or on the Euroleague Adventures Facebook Page. Y’all are the best. It shall be fun.

Hey Nick. Have fun during the last two (three?) games. Look forward to listening to you and Chris on the BBC and watching the game on espn. As I tweeted earlier, the last game I had tv on to watch the game and listened to BBC audio stream and the two were synched almost exactly…no delay from one to the other. Have a good time today.
