Two more NBL schedule changes
The National Basketball League has made some further adjustments to both its iiNet NBL Championship game schedule and its broadcast schedule on ONE HD, Basketball Australia has advised.36ers, Tigers, Kings and Blaze all lose TV games. Crocs gain two TV games, Taipans and Wildcats one each. For locals, the 36ers game dropped from the TV schedule was a home game so this shouldn't impact game-goers drastically. Those losing games are all bottom four teams while those gaining games are in the top four.
In Round 23, the Townsville Crocodiles' home game against the Perth Wildcats has been moved forward from the originally scheduled Saturday 19 March to the new date and time of Friday 18 March at 7:00PM local Queensland time.
The change was made at the request of the Crocodiles to avoid a clash with a North Queensland Cowboys (NRL) home game against the Newcastle Knights and was done with the full agreement of the Wildcats.
The Crocs-Wildcats game will also now replace the previously scheduled Adelaide 36ers-Melbourne Tigers game as the ONE HD live broadcast match on Friday 18 March.
In Round 25, the 'Reptile Rumble’ between the Cairns Taipans and the visiting Townsville Crocodiles on Friday 1 April has been moved forward half-an-hour to the new tip-off time of 7:00PM (local).
The move allows the Taipans-Crocs match to become the ONE HD live broadcast game on 1 April, replacing the previously scheduled Sydney Kings-Gold Coast Blaze match.
