i'm watching the game now and mbunga just got in. it was pretty funny cause the one commentator said he has ties to the us because he played his ball at montana. then he said it was montana state and that there is a BIG difference. then mentioned bozeman and his all-big sky honors. it was just kind of cool hearing 2 guys talk and have the understanding of our rivalry. cool to see mbunga get some action too. us is rolling them at the half though by nearly thirty.

Mbunga had some nice minutes in the first half, and scored some points. It's good to see him playing at that high of a level. I'm glad the announcers got the Montana-Montana State difference right. ESPN never gets that right. It's fun to see Divaldo Mbunga getting to play for his country.

Is Divaldo Mbunga the same as Hermenegildo Mbunga? If so, he had 4 points and 2 rebounds against the USA today. However Angola lost 121-66. If not, he didn't play.
It is so:

Very cool that Mbunga is playing for his country
Surprised he didn't have a blocked shot or two...he always seemed to swat a few against the Griz (especially that last game).
Besides playing for Angola, is he playing for a pro team over seas too?
