Re: hicks update

[Aike Detelder]

Here you can find some clips of one of our oponents who are for the moment
the third in the league. They've just re-entered, no footage of Eric but
footage of Trevor Huffman,Pablo Gonzales, Adam Hall, Wes Wilkinson and Eric
Poole. Maybe it can give you an idea of our league

BTW: here's something from the uleb website of our last european game

"No group could be closer than Group C, which sees every team at 1-1 after
two weeks. The big upset came in Belgium, where Telindus Oostende, which was
coming off a double-digit defeat at Lukoil Academic, stunned group favorite
BC Khimki 93-88."
