BB demands more fight & determination
Ahead of their first game aghainst Turkey at the Stankovic Cup in China, Brown has made a statement to his youthful and inexperienced team:
"Boomers head coach Brett Brown has urged his side to display greater fight and determination when it faces Turkey tomorrow in the opening game of the 2009 Continental Stankovic Cup in Kunshan City, China.
It was those qualities that Brown believed his team lacked when it fell to New Zealand on Tuesday in the second and deciding game of the 2009 FIBA Oceania Championship."

The Boomers play 4 games in four days against Turkey, China and Angola in the round robin Stankovic Cup, starting tomorrow at 5:30pm AET against Turkey.
Brown: "We want to see if James Harvey can be a lightning rod off the bench, whether Matthew Dellavedova can be a point guard for the Boomers in the future, whether A.J. Ogilvy can be a legitimate prospect in a talented group of Australian bigs, whether Liam Rush can be that lock-down defender that Sam Mackinnon and Jason Smith used to be, and whether Ater Majok can compete for a regular place in the team."
