Stephanie Collins, WOW.

The naturally right-handed girl who spent her time at the AIS for a few years learning how to shoot. Her shot technique was so bad that they decided to teach her how to shoot jumpshots left handed from scratch instead of trying to re-work her right handed shot.

Your taxpayer dollars in action, folks

Is the Aussie college of natural therapies where you are told to enlist if you want to make the team?

"We want you on the team so quick sign up to the this coarse."

Steph Collins.......really, my goodness and they could find nothing better, ???????

What happened to legit uni students, not one of them listed actually attends a college full time it's all on line or part time courses with the exception of those in ameican colleges.

Not a bad team for the mean, although built mostly on guards and not too many legit 5 men.

PG - Greenwood / Bruce / Maynard
SG - McCarron / Djeric
SF - Creek / Hooley
PF - Duncan / Deng / Pinder
C - Mathiang / Trist

Is the head office of the Australasian College of Natural Therapies based in the Cayman Islands by any chance?

Steph Collins OMG !!! Joyce continues to make very poor decisions when selecting athletes. She is going to be so far out of her depth it's not even funny. You watch he will play her just to make a point

I know very little about these games, I admit, however it must be some logistical nightmare to get teams like this to attend a training session surely?

Team selection would therefore also be very difficult, I imagine...

Is there any online or TV media coverage of this tournament at all?

@ "No seekamp, Barr, nakkasoglu?"

They do not qualify ! because

1- they are real uni students
2- they dare to be successful without Canberra's consent

Great to see a D2 player like Mitch get some recognition, there are some very good college D2 Aussie players out there doing really well. We just don't tend to talk about them, it is all about D1' where most are just sitting on the bench anyway!

Agree anon #995. The top 50 or so D2 schools would be very competitive with D1 schools ranked below top 100. There are some real good players with good minutes and stats that don't get recognised. Good for you Mitch.
