Vamos Azul: What you need to know about Michigan basketball's trip to Spain

Vamos Azul! Or, as Michigan fans would say in English, Go Blue!

The U-M men's basketball team is traveling to Spain on Friday, Aug. 17. They'll arrive in Madrid, which is six hours ahead of Ann Arbor, on Saturday, and return home from Barcelona on Sunday, Aug. 27. The Wolverines will play three games and tour cultural and historical sights.

Como y por que?
