Australia defeats UAE 112-38
(31957)

Reports the keyway were not measured correctly sparked high interest as Australia cruised to victory in Singapore. The error in measurement didn't affect the game too much, apart from the free throw shooting which, in total, dipped to under 50% including 5 airballs from the charity stripe. UAE put out a respectable team, including beast of the boards Najjar, who pulled in the ball a cool 23 times throughout the match. But the Aussie team, stacked with talent, cruised to victory, nearly outscoring the UAEs total game score in the first quarter alone.

1 vote- CIA (18pts, 4 assists, 3 steals)

Next week its Vietnam. Correct court size is important if we are to shoot high percentage free throws.

Australia CT'd by the Nguyens.
(31961)

Vietnam threw some hard punches, but Australia managed to stay on its feet with a 22pt win in Singapore. The strategy run by the Aussie coach was a chance for a few of the sharp shooters to show what they can do, With CIA and newest member, O'reilly thriving with the open looks. Kewell also upped the defensive pressure, accumulating more steals than points.

For Vietnam, L, V, N and T Nguyen all contributed. Chium also had a career night, knocking in 45 points in 48 minutes.

MVPs
3 votes- CIA (23pts, 4 assists)
2 votes- O'Reilly (15pts, 4 rebs, 4ass, 3 stls)
1 vote- Phan (12pts, 10 rebs, 2 blks)

Next game is Malaysia, game shapes are varying with cup interests, and a few players are training well with the u21 team in their sights.

Yes it seems odd but with such a well trained and well run team the result was the same. Keep up the excellent work!

Aussies 4-0, beat Malaysia 84-67 (31963)

A well fought win by the boys in green and gold to hold the Malaysians to just 67pts. Our shooting percentage was down, but holding them to 34% for the game allowed us to still win comfortably.

MVPs
3 votes- Cortez Ryan (19pts, 14 boards)

1 vote- Maverick (14pts, 4 boards)

Our next game will be interesting, facing Taiwan, who lost to China by 2pts tonight (31964)

Australia downed in exciting match vs Taiwan
(31966)

In a tough fought out game the Aussies have dropped their first game for the season, losing by 3 points to Taiwan. Both teams were hungry for the win to secure a first place finish in Pool A. Australia went in with less than ideal game shape, although some of the key players were in top form.

For Taiwan, "the french Mankini" was unstoppable, falling one assist shy of a national team triple double. Throwing out 9 dimes from the PF position was an outstanding show.

MVPS
3 votes- Maverick Parkes (19pts, 5 rebs, 4 assists).
2 votes- Cortez Ryan (17pts on 61%FG, 5 rebs, 3 ass, 3 stls)
1 vote- Kewell (15pts, 6 assists, 4 rebs)

Our next game is a big game against China, determining where each of the top teams will finish before the next round.

Game shape, game shape, game shape.
