Wildcat Fan's post made wonder about this question. Would this game get better ratings, if it was shown on free-to-air tv, than NBL games got through the past season?

What do people think? My suspicion is no, as I can't imagine any but devoted basketball fans watching a friendly against a country that's not high in the public consciousness as a basketball power.

Australias A team vs USA would probably rate well, other then that I dont think the average aussie knows who the world powers are.

I guess it does depend on who Australia are playing - if its one of their traditional country rivals like England, then yes it would rate. But as England are not renowned for their hoops that wouldn't work for basketball.

Only game that would get any significant interest would be a USA v Australia match. Or maybe a full strength Spain or Greece?

China - as important as they are for Australia, and as huge as the sport is there, just doesnt seem to grab people.

I think Channel 9 showed this game last year though from memory?

If they were serious about promoting the game they should show them on TV and not just for NBL.TV subscribers. 10/One show the Netball Diamonds games played here in Australia, why not Boomers games?
