they must have sold a lot since the weekend then, the figure talked about on the weekend was about 1000 tickets sold, so based on that I reckon if they get 4000 they will be happy

dome** my bad

slightly off topic but does anybody know what time the 18s vs 20s state team game starts?

Why couldn't the warm up game consist of Metro v Country as both will be competing at the Nationals next month. To play the U/20's doesn't really say much. Great concept BSA, if you had the right teams playing.

I'll be there tomorrow.

Be a good game to have a look at... watched the first game on monday night and wasnt all that impressed with the Boomers. Relied way to much on the outside shot, i thought. May have worked against Iran but how will it go against some of the worlds elite teams?
I realise that Bogut and Anderson are to come back into the squad. Bogut is vital in that he can be a scoring option aginst all the world elite teams.

Noticed the squad that played on monday had 3 forwards and 2 centres named and the rest gaurds. not that surprising that they relied on there outside shot. Also makes it a bit more surprising that Luke was cut!

Well I think two 7 footers joining the team evens that up, hence having more guards in the team without them, and hence not needing to add another 7 footer who is significantly less skilled

I noticed that also about the rely on the outside shot from the highlights I saw.

When the big men join, it shouldn't be so bad.

Looking forward to tonight's opportunity to see our National team. Hopefully the crowd is decent and we can host another in the future.

Well, we will definitely be playing small ball again tonight, with Nielson apparently staying in Perth for the remaining two games of the series.

I guess Hinder and Helliwell will get a pretty good run tonight.

Great interview by Goorj last night on the radio. He said all the right things to get a crowd there tonight. He sounds genuinely concerned about the skills of their bigs.

Also interesting his comments about big Luke and the situation with his knee. Lets hope the two months of rest and rehab are all he needs.

Sounds like its just been a bit of bad luck with Schenscher and the national team. Food posioning in China, the ankle in Germany and now this knee.

don't know why people are complaining about the fans not getting behind the game? no one knew about it until it was poster on here then passed on by word of mouth... basketball australia needs to have a hard think about who they employ for marketing and publicity

That's a good point Ricey.

Don't forget the opening day of ticket sales was delayed and Venue Tix had no knowledge of the event to start off with.

Was looking for a seating chart for "The Dome" ... just bought seats and I have no idea if they are good or not. Any help?

Advertising for the game came out ages ago with season ticket renewal notices.

Triple M has been advertising the game for a while too.

triple M!!! who the hell listens to triple M... want to reach the people in Adelaide, hit up Fresh, Nova and SAFM... then go ahead and hit up Triple J for national coverage along with Nova... they should just pay someone like me or any other concert promoter, atleast we know how to do our job, they should have had flyers being handed out to people and posters in as many shop windows as possible to reach the larger market... how is it a 20 year old can come up with a better marketing plan that the so called "professionals"

Yeah Triple J are huge on advertising stuff being that they are a part of the ABC and all.

game starts at 7:30

Ricey, I heard a similar statment the other day. I think its a joke that my coach had no idea there was a game on tonight and the asst. coach only found out about the game on the radio as he was driving to training yesterday. It really is crazy.

The funny thing is the lack of crowd that is likely to show up tonight means BSA is not likely to host another international in the near future despite BA being largely to blame!

triple J will do ads and plugs on air... they do realise it would be cheaper for them to make up 5000 flyers and couple hundred posters to get out then it is to put ads in other sources of media... for a couple thousand dollars tops they could sell out the game, but instead they would rather spend 5k and have no one rock up at all

how can we get those basketball australia's people out of there!

This game was poorly advertised and many of you have covered it on here.

i know how we can get them out... suicide bomber... ran in to their building and BANG!!! then we can get Heal to run it haha
