I'd like to know the same thing.

The Australian Emus are a really talented team and have some future stars

Aussies are recognised as talented ballers. We are decending upon a golden age for hoops.

FIBA u19 is in Suvva or somewhere isn't it?
Lucky to get an internet feed from there!

First game for Aussie men is 1st Dec, Livestats is as good as you will get until someone posts a video on youtube I would say.

There are TWO teams going guys, women as well, how about a little interest and support for both. The talent between the two teams is amazing and gives Australia a healthy future for both opals and boomers, which is good for men as the women have it all over them on the international stage.

The post was about live feed, not the men's team tool

The OP has mentioned both the Gems and Emus, no one has avoided the Gems on purpose, lets just look forward to watching both teams and support them like they deserve to be supported, shall we?

No Humphries.. No McVeigh... Hunter in, akintola in? Thought Noi would be a better chance.
Could be beaten... Which means..
No simmons, maker, Adel and the like.. No worlds.

Anon #726, who is going to beat them? Get real, only NZ have any real chance.

2 Players added did not make the 13 man squad selected.Perry,Smith and Woodfall are the emergencies listed so why not 2 of them.

Noi is attending US high school montverde with ben Simmons
so he is not getting picked for this.

so..?

wilson/krebs
dj/akintola
clark/white
blagojevic/vague
froling/hunter

aussie women win 113-8...

scherf didnt play.
all of them got similar minutes and performed really well I thought. I've never seen skinner play before this tournament.... how tall is she 6'1?. She was great along with hellessey, seaton, maley and antoniadou imparticular.

I'm suprised smith didnt get many rebounds. I guess when you have the likes of maley and hellessey beside you aswell as the fact that the american samoan team were unable to penetrate into the frontcourt due to a great defensive effort.

antoniadou filled the stat sheet. 11 pts, 5 steals, 10 assists, 4 rebounds. thought her finsishing could have been a little better. 4-12fg. a few times she had open layups but hit the ball too hard off the glass. everyone else shot between 50-82fg% which is impressive.

does anyone know if these heights are correct?
starting lineup:
wallace 5'11/antoniadou 5'9
tupaea 5'9/seaton 5'10
skinner 6'1?/horvat 6'0
maley 6'1/hellessey 6'2
smith 6'3/scherf 6'5

Reading the team list after Aussie Men's first game, they still only have 9 players listed, no Abi named, yet!?

Shortfall in bigs? then why not get Molloy-Leigh in the team>? There isn't a shortfasll in Aussie bigs, we just need to look up and we will see them!

Have to agree... We could be in trouble against nz. Wynyard and freeman in the front court just look more lively.

Even the Nz women could knock off australia...

If you put toleafoa at point with graham at Sg and add hard working Poletti at sf along with the huge physical front court combo of wehi 6'3 and Noyer 6'5. We could be in trouble, particularly when you have the likes of manuirangi, walker, Renata, Roberts and Wilson coming off the bench who are also performing very well.

Best starting 5's?

6'0 Toleafoa v 5'9 antoniadou
5'11 Graham v 5'11 Wallace
6'0 Poletti v 6'1 maley
6'3 Wehi v 6'3 smith
6'5 Noyer v 6'5 scherf (hopefully)

Yeah I don't think the NZ men's team have ever been better placed than they are now to beat Aus in an underage tournament for the first time.

Missing Ben Simmons and the others playing HS/college in the US is one thing but when Humphries and McVeigh were ruled NZ suddenly became a genuine chance to win.

Those hoping to see some sort of Australian dream team assemble for the U19s next year might have to temper their expectations as there's a strong chance they won't even be there.

*when Humphries and McVeigh were ruled out

pressuring the backcourt will be the key. If we can stop the bigs from getting the ball, we should win. Wilson, dj and Krebs need to put in a good defensive effort and our forwards need to attack the boards. Froling will probably get big minutes me thinks.
