A University of Kentucky game is the next important warm-up for the Dominican basketball team. John Calipari, coach of the University of Kentucky Wildcats and the Dominican national basketball team, said the Dominican team would go against NBA players who are alumni of the University of Kentucky in a match at the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky on 15 August.
Kentucky team members will be John Wall (first draft in 2010), DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento forward) and Eric Bledsoe (defense Los Angeles Clippers), along with Rajon Rondo, Tayshaun Prince, Jodie Meeks, Nazr Mohammed and Keith Bogans. Sam Bowie and Joe B. Hall will lead the Kentucky alum.
NBA players on the Dominican team include Al Horford (Atlanta Hawks), Charlie Villanueva (Detroit Pistons) and Francisco Garcia (Sacramento Kings), Luis Flores, Jack Michael Martinez and Edgar Sosa under coach John Calipari, working with NBA Chicago Bulls assistant coach William Harris, Orlando Antigua, Luis Felipe Lopez and Rod Strickland.
Calipari said the Dominican team would travel for training at the University of Kentucky on Monday. The team will return to Santo Domingo on 17 August and then will fly to Brazil to participate in the Copa Tuto Marchand in Foz do Iguacu. In its third year, the Jenaro Tuto Marchand tournament will be held 24, 25 and 26 August with the participation of Brazil, Canada, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. It serves as training ground for the FIBA Americas 2011 and the crucial Pre-Olympics Americas Tournament set for Mar del Plata, Argentina 30 August to 11 September. The DR hopes to be one of the two winners in order to qualify the team for the 2012 Olympics in London.
