More on Roberts: Season Underway in Ukraine

Written for your enjoyment by: Raff

Former Syracuse frontline player Terrence Roberts has moved from the Orient to the Ukraine this year and is playing with Ferro-ZNTU in the Ukranian SuperLeague. Ferro was part of the EuroChallenge Qualifier but was bounced in a home and home tie with Benfica (Portugal).

Ferro has started the season 1-1 in SuperLeague playing coming up with an 87-79 win over Kryvbasbasket in their latest league contest. Roberts scored 10 points and had 4 rebounds in that win. In a season opening loss to BC Donetsk he scored 6 points and had 5 rebounds and recorded a block.

Including the Eurochallenge games, Roberts is averaging 9 points per game and 4.5 rebounds, while playing about 17 minutes a night on a team that includes four other Americans.

We'll continue to keep you posted on Roberts and other former Syracuse players overseas throughout the year.

About theMountFanBlog

The Mount FanBlog is hosted by Ryan Raffensperger, a sports fan of all types and a Mount Basketball fan forever.

Raffensperger has loved the Mount as long as he can remember, which basically means 1981 - and remembers the true #GloryDays of Memorial Gym. He remembers the players from those days to the athletes who play at Knott Arena today. And if it's a #MountMayhem day, it's going to be a good day.

He holds a Syracuse University degree in broadcast journalism. He has broadcast high school, college & minor league levels of all sports in his past and regularly covered high school football for his hometown paper. So the blog does make a little sense.

Raffensperger worked professionally as a CPA for many years, but the chronic inflammatory immune disease Sarcoidosis made it impossible to continue that in a manner he found acceptable. Since then, he has spent more time around the Mount St. Mary's basketball program and values Coach Dan Englestad, his staff, and the players' impact on him. The blog was much more active, but the advent of Twitter (follow @themountfanblog) has made writing a little less important. But he hopes that the balance swings back in favor of more traditional content soon.
