Have they announced the tipoff time yet?
Hopefully since there are only the two semis being played with games all day Sunday it means afternoon slots so that it is at a decent hour for all of us in Aus.

Tipoff is 11.30 pm in the west, 1.00am for SA/NT, and 1.30am for you Eastern Staters.
Fox Sports has confirmed a live broadcast, starting 10mins before tipoff (11.20pm/12.50am/1.20am).
Looks like the games were switched around by the organisers. Good! 11:30pm on a Saturday not bad.
NZ has a good chance of getting this.. and are paying $5 for the win!!
Well that looks like game over.. 20-2 after 5mins!!

Revenge for the rugby I guess! Think it'll be an early night for me, NZ don't look like they're going to put up much of a fight.
Got a few good prospects coming through.
Adams, fotu, vukona, loe, pledger, wynnard, salt, waardenburg, freeman
Dev team for Aus as well but Newley is nearly done, just experience left in the tank. Given great service but predict out next games.
While we take a half time break any thoughts on who should be there given Anderson and Sobey out... use your retrospectascope...

A devastating 31-10 opening term had the Tall Blacks on the back foot all game and from their were never seriously threatened. Matt Hodgson led six Boomers in scoring double figures, with 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting with 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. Jason Cadee, Mitch Creek and Daniel Kickert all had 13 points each, while Nick Kay delivered an 11 point and 10 rebound double-double.
Boomers bounce Tall Blacks, secure place in Asia Cup final

PS: Iran will be the opponents in going for gold. 4am AEST.
NZ never had a chance. You've got the best Australian players from the nbl and effectively the breakers dev players and academy players.

Ili being injured as well as Timmins/Delany being sick influenced the result. NZ would've still lost but I think it would've been a closer contest. But this result was as expected as the ABs beating the Wallabies.
