Nic Nobili brings European roots, versatile skill set to men’s basketball – The Daily Free Press

As a little kid, Nic Nobili would read up on his father’s favorite basketball players — European stars Toni Kukoč, Arvydas Sabonis and Sasha Danilović — and marvel as he attended Virtus Bologna games in his hometown of Bologna, Italy.

“We’re just all feeling very disappointed,” head coach Sally Starr said. “I don’t think we brought our best game to the
