Mustapha Heron and Auburn men’s basketball are in Italy.
The Tigers blew away Stella Azzura 87-29 in a game played today. Heron, who will be a sophomore for Auburn, had 13 points and tied for the team lead. Heron was a former star at Sacred Heart High School in Waterbury.
The Tigers are in Italy to get some basketball in, and oh yeah, to see some sites. Players and coaches posed for photos in Vatican City and at the Colosseum that were posted on Twitter on Tuesday.
Auburn arrived in Rome on Monday, grabbed lunch, then posed for a photo in front of the Trevi Fountain, an amazing site. Go to the Auburn men’s basketball Twitter account for updates from the games and photos of the trip itself.
