Pre-Season: 36ers vs Wollongong this Saturday
Just a reminder that the 36ers have another pre-season game coming up in a couple of days. They take on the Wollongong Hawks on Saturday evening at Pasadena.
Doors open from 6:45, and the game starts at 7:30.
Tickets are $10 for adults, and $5 for concession and children under 14. You can buy a ticket from the front desk at Pasadena on the night.
The main parking area is likely to fill up pretty quickly, so be aware that you can usually sneak a park in behind the buildings (second entrance) and I believe the oval will be open for parking as well.
The Hawks have reworked their roster a bit this off-season, bringing in Dusty Rychart to pair with Kavossy Franklin. Kiwi guard Lindsay Tait and veteran Mat Campbell complete their back court rotation.
Cam Tragardh will aid Rychart in the paint, while Larry Davidson (resting a knee injury) will miss the game. Guard Rhys Martin is unavailable as he will be playing in the ABA post-season, but Tim Labka and James Quinn are joining the trip as development players.
Glen Saville (recently returned from Beijing), misses tonight's opening contest between the teams in Port Lincoln, but should suit for Saturday's game.
Mark Tyndale and Aaron Bruce will feature for the 36ers, so get along for another preview of the new Adelaide roster.

Boti notes in his article today that the 36ers will start Adam Ballinger in the middle tonight in their Port Lincoln game against the Hawks. Luke Schenscher will come off the bench. I think this could just be the first public stage in the small-ball experiment.
Line-up is listed as:
Bruce/Kersten
Maher/Hill
Winitana/Burdon
Holmes/Cooper
Ballinger/Schenscher
Tyndale is with the team but is unlikely to play tonight.
