A really impressive start to our u21 campaign, missing a wildcard entry into the world cup by a play or two against one of the worlds best nations, France. Our dangerous lineup will hopefully carry us deep into the consolation tourney in a quest for home court advantage.

Got a few games to report back on to the public, for those not following along.
Our Australian u21 team is blitzing opponents on the world scale this season, taking down a very strong Latvia team on their home floor. https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/59864/boxscore.aspx The game was a seriously difficult draw considering our position to aim for home court next season. The Aussies took the game into junk time before Latvia woke up in the 4th and shot the lights out, leaving Australia disorientated in a surrounding unusual to them in the complete dark.

Yu put on a clinic for the spectators, piling on 31pts and missing only 6 shots in the process. Tambouras supported well and Meehan was strong inside.

The second game was an easier game vs Egypt. https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/59907/boxscore.aspx
Australia seemed to cruise through in this game, never really destroying the opposition, whilst the Egyptians seemed to be trying their hardest just to keep the game respectable. Still, with Australia owning the boards, flicking assists with ease, and shooting at a high clip, the Aussies found the game too hard to lose.

So a real team performance over the start to the tournament, with 6 different players picking up votes in the past 2 games. The team heads off shore again tomorrow night to verse Tounes before some tougher games in Bulgaria and Kazakstan.

Well if you didn't enjoy tonight 105-103 victory, there is something wrong. What a game! Bulgaria were a very tough lineup, also hard to predict and hard to set offense against. Our Aussies found ourselves behind 75-76 at 3qtr time before a few big 3s to seal the game which came down to the final shot!

Fine showing by the boys tonight making light work of Japan. 65 rebounds dominating the offensive possession, and suing the ball with efficiency, shooting the ball at 55% makes the rebound count all the more impressive, because of the 40 misses, 15 were 2nd chances for our team.

MVPs
3- Meehan- 18pts, 70% FG, 13 boards, 6 blks.
2- Santacera
1- Chick. 17pts on 70% FG, gets the nod over McGeedys 18 boards but at 35% FG efficiency scoring. But 18 boards is impressive by McGeedy.

Pelip mighty unlucky.His efficiency was the best of the lot, the offense didnt really allow him to stand out.

Next week is top seed Israel. Our tournament is done and we have achieved our goal!

Got our butts kicked last night by Israel, which was expected after playing our all in match last week. We secured home court for next season which was the goal.
