Barcelona, Spain - The Big Ten Men's Basketball Foreign Tour team suffered its second loss of the trip, falling to VIC Barcelona, 110-104, on Monday in Barcelona, Spain.

After taking Sunday off, the conference squad returned to action against VIC Barcelona, and looked ready to avenge Saturday's loss as the teams remained even at the end of the first period (30-30). After falling behind in the second period, 58-53, the Tour squad responded, posting a 10-2 run late in the third quarter to cut the deficit from 15 points to seven, before the hosts claimed an 82-73 edge heading into the final stanza. The Big Ten continued to rally, cutting the lead to three points in the final six minutes. However, the Spanish club team ended the Tour contingent's comeback with a three-pointer at the 45-second mark to ensure a 110-104 victory.

Illinois freshman Calvin Brock led the Big Ten team with 18 points, while sophomore teammate Brian Randle was second on the squad in scoring, tallying 17 points. Brock added five rebounds and five assists while Randle added a team-high seven boards and three steals.

Also scoring in double figures for the Big Ten was Indiana's Marco Killingsworth (14 points) and Michigan State's Goran Suton (10 points).
