When Cold Domestic hits Hot International

First things first.
Let's clear up what this pic from Brandon Jenning's Under Armour blog is all about.
It's about B-Jennings getting up early in the morning for a photo shoot with ESPN the magazine.
And it's certainly about acclimating pretty well to the locals, at least for this particular shoot.
Slight non-sequitor: What is it with some of these Italian males and their machismo? Even the lil one front, center and splayed, seems knee-deep in it. You'd think think he was holding onto a security blanket or something - jeesh.

How's Jennings' team doing?
Despite head coach Jasmin Repesa's surprise resignation on Dec. 9, Lottomatica Roma continues to do really poor/well. From Euroleague.net:

The shock announcement came the night before Roma heads to play DKV Joventut in Badalona on Thursday, when assistant coach Nando Gentile will take over the visitors' bench on an interim basis. Roma has lost four straight games in the Italian League, but has won five straight Euroleague games to lead Group C with a 5-1 record and on the verge of clinching a berth in the Top 16. Repesa cited domestic results in statements quoted by the club. Roma has struggled at home in the Italian League, losing four straight games, and currently sits in ninth place in the domestic standings.
