Was Murcia promoted to the ACB at the end of last season (I think LEB1 is the league below?)? I would be surprised to see Terrell drop down a division as he was lighting the ACB up a couple of seasons ago.

Murcia were promoted last season. They finished the league in 3rd but made the final of the playoffs where the top two teams qualify.

Etosa Alicante has been in the ACB for a while...but spanish people like basketball and they have a myriad of "minor leagues" such as Leb or Leb II but you can fine pro players also at the 4th level (EBA) and even some regional leagues where they still admit foreign players...they are crazy for basketball!!!

Andy Betts, Rob Archibald and Drew Sullivan's club DKV Joventud Badalona are currently 4th in the ACB with a 9-7 record.

Betts' old club TAU Vitoria are the leaders with Real Madrid second

Betts has just returned after a month out injured while Sullivan was missing from their Eurosport-televised game at Madrid with a calf strain

Joel Freeland's team, Gran Canaria, are on Eurosport tomorrow night (9.45pm) against Vilnius in the ULEB Cup.

When does Spanish basketball season actually tip off.

I will be in Spain for my summer break first two weeks of September,
near La Manga.
Does anybody know if there is any Spanish activity that time of year in the La Manga area.

Alicante is hosting one of the first stage groups of Eurobasket, involving France, Italy, Poland and Slovenia

I'm pretty sure at this stage you'll still be able to get tickets
