Well done to both Sturt ABL teams .
Women won by 4 in overtime over a very determined Southern .
Sturt only gained the drew level in the last 30 secs of the last. They had the chance to win with two inside shots however neither would drop.
The men won by 2 in regular time with a Buzzer Beater by Jacob Holmes over West at Port Adelaide.

southern were really pumped - 70% of the crowd were hollering for the tigers and at one stage they were 27-13 up - courtesy of off shooting by sturt.
why cutri is not training with the lightning is beyond me - she was up and down the court like speedy gonzales - but did not see any outside game from her.
sturt were extremely well coached to get back into it - however southern shut them down as the sabres tended to go inside nearly every offence - ? maybe to exploit a height advantage.
full credit to southern who would not leave the stadium wondering if they could have done better.
connor holmes and carlonie - outstanding D, bowley girls - always 100% and bree shot crucial baskets.
southern - maybe not the depth to go all the way - but a great team effort - cunningham and cutri their best. With their supporters getting a mention.
however the basketball gods showed fairness and it was appropriate the sturt girls won - dropping out in straight sets would have been an injustice to their season.

holmes scored about 17 straight in the last 3 mins after startng off terribly
