AUSTRALIA WINS!!!!! 93-84

Apparently Cadee was huge in the 4th quarter of this game...

Wow we won, why do they not show this on any form of anything anywhere... Anyone got the box?

Shit me off that I couldnt see this. Is this the first time a senior Aussie team (of sorts) has beaten a USA one?

what usa team is it ? normally some sort of "select" team ? not an actual uni / college team.

Bairstow with 22 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists
Broekhoff with 10 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists
Cadee with 23 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists (looks like 16 points in the 4th)

Go to the kazan world uni games web site for the results and links to TV coverage

USA not their strongest team.

But they were still a hell of a team and its a special acheivement for the Australian team.

The U.S. still had guys like McDermott, Ferrell, Sheehey, Hancock, Haws.

If you knew college basketball, you would know that these guys can really play.

You only have to look at the fact that many of those guys from that USA team started for their college teams -- and they were BIG TIME -- Indiana, MSU, Louisville.

Not to mention they have Bielin and McKillop as coaches -- some of the best in the college game.

USA basketball have a 114 - 10 record at world uni games according to their web site. Good summary of last nights game also.

Great win by the Aussies! Nothing like beating the USA.

For mine, Cam Bairstow continues to go from strength to strength. Every time he has been given an opportunity, whether it was with the Lobos or now with the WUG team, he has grasped it with both hands.

That USA team in my opinion was a stronger overall team than Canada. We now play the United Arab Emirates in our last group phase game - the team the USA beat by 100 odd. USA next play Canada.

Cadee is at TAFE South Australia

Amazing win, there is a lot of talent in that US team as MACDUB said, good players for powerful colleges.

What about Cadee, 16 points in the final term? Shown how tough it is to be a young PG in the NBL but youd have to think after this international season he will have a good year for Adelaide.

Got to love Bairstow too, if I was Shawn Dennis I would be on the phone to him everyday offering the Crocs' starting centre spot! I think we have another Matt Knight on our hands.

I think this result means the Aussies will likely finish 2nd in the group so (without looking at the standings!) should get a reasonable crossover.

Having looked at format now, it's actually two qualifiers from four groups straight into QFs, so will probably be a tough game no matter who we get.

thats what happens if there's not much financial backing involved. the result is simply a purer game and purer results.

You put multi-millionaires players and the game became like a movie with villains and heroes.

Really, really happy with the result, and for the fellas. I don't care what kind of team we're playing, anytime we beat USA in basketball it's a momentous occasion!

Good point about Kirk Anon!

We Aussies absolutely love Bairstow, for those reasons you mention above. Nothing like a big bloke that gets into the pain, and under the rim, and just outworks everyone. He just hussles and throws his weight around, it's just great to watch.

He's gonna have an awesome senior year for you blokes!

Bairstow is a Boomer for the future thats for sure. He is going to work his way into spots over players who are "more talented" and hes going to earn every second.

where is channel ten when you need them

I liked the typo, Vart - "gets into the pain". It actually made some sense, in a Freudian slip kind of way!

Oops - sorry everyone, I meant 'paint'!

Thanks for the heads up PeterJohn.

No Vart. Dont apologise.

Its actually a more descriptive term...it just sounds more nasty. Reminds me of the 1990s "no easy layups" policy.

Ben Allen: "Im going to get into the paint"

BJ Anthony: "LOL, im going to get into the pain".

someone said you can see video of Aus vs USa on the Uni site.. not there?

In a modest display, Australia's World Uni team beats the United Arab Emirates in a tooth and nail contest that went right down to the wire.... Australia only managing to eek out an 88 point win. 131-43

top 2 of each pool of 5 makes it to the quarters. I think if USA beats Canada by more then 10 they overlap us and we miss out somehow?

Australia is 1-1 in tie and +/- of 0.
Canada is 1-0 and +9.
USA is 0-1 and -9.

Therefore the only way we could potentially miss out would be whatever comes next (overall percentage?) if USA win by 9! We cant come first though, either Canada or US will be ahead of us after tonight's game.

Actually, the other way we could miss out would be for USA to win by 9 in a higher scoring game than ours against them and Canada. Hopefully the Canucks just keep doing their thing in the second half.

Canadians up by 12 i7 mins left of the final quarter. I dont wanna ruin it but I think we are heading to the quarters. 'Blame Canada'

Lights have gone out at the stadium with 10 secs to play. Canada up. Too late for this game but the video feed is being streamed through First Row Sports. Heads up for next game.

Damn. I wish i knew bout the link. Looks like Australia is through to the quarterfinals...

I dont even know what groups there are, who would we cross over against?

Canada officially won and advance in first place with Australia 2nd

Thanks Anonymous for the link.

I can see it was mentioned in a previous post that there were links on the games site but it didn't register at the time. I notice that highlights of previous games are there also. We need some sort of link thread that advises of all upcoming games ,that involve Australians, and that are streamed on legitimate sites. If the times and dates are beside them it would make things so much easier. (Calendar Format)

Examples: St Marys vs BYU where Delly hit the buzzer beater was live on the BYU site
A number of Broekhoff's Valparaiso games were streamed on the Horizon League video site and every year there is more on offer. These are known sometimes weeks ahead.

Some of you already know this but many don't and the links can take a lot of time to locate.

We have Lithuania in the crossover.

It should turn out that Lith/Aus play the winner of Serb/Russia in the semis by the looks of things. I don't mind Australia's medal chances here at all...

All the US games have been streamed because they have been broadcast in the US. I havent been able to find earlier Aussie games on live streams but maybe I was just blind!

Medal rounds are scheduled on Eurosport.

The state of New Mexico is rooting for Cam and the Aussies. The state of California doesn't even know St. Mary's has a basketball team. That's just how it is.

If the US had Lemanis they might still be playing.

9th place usa must b spewing

@ rick: great idea but won't really work on this forum because it doesn't realy work like a normal forum that is generally phpbb-based (threads don't get bumped with new comments, no sticky threads, etc.)

***nudge-nudge / kick-under-the-table to hoops.com.au moderators***

will they be still showing the game on that link delayed or something? Btw our semis are against Serbia...

why does the stream have rugby instead of the game? what the hell is going on with this shit??

highly aggitated. streamhunter said the game would be on now, and had it scheduled.. but obviously they dont know what the hell they are on about and now i am seeing russian rugby and like I give 2 shits about that!

Mick, threads get bumped if you browse by latest action mode instead of the default. You can bookmark that as your default home page if you want.
