This is the camp squad, so you'd think most of it will come from this list:

Chris Anstey / 213cm / Melbourne Tigers
David Barlow / 205cm / Melbourne Tigers
CJ Bruton / 188cm / Brisbane Bullets
Peter Crawford / 193cm / Perth Wildcats
Adam Gibson / 188cm / Brisbane Bullets
James Harvey 196cm / Gold Coast Blaze
Wade Helliwell / 213cm / Sebastiani (Ita.)
Russell Hinder / 208cm / Sydney Kings
Jacob Holmes / 198cm / South Dragons
Joe Ingles / 203cm / South Dragons
Luke Kendall / 193cm / Sydney Kings
Matt Knight/202cm/W.Sydney Razorbacks
Alex Loughton / 206cm / Perth Wildcats
Darnell Mee / 198cm / Cairns Taipans
Patrick Mills / 181cm / St. Mary's (USA)
Andrew Ogilvy /210cm/Vanderbilt U (USA)
Shawn Redhage / 203cm / Perth Wildcats
Glen Saville / 197cm / Sydney Kings
Luke Schenscher / 216cm / Brose (Ger.)
Mark Worthington / 202cm / Sydney Kings
Though Bruton has some sort of injury and I'm not sure if he'll play.

Anyone heard anything about ticket sales for the game? The Fox announcement could hurt sales a little, but when I just checked best seating in Gold, it looks at least like the sides are filling up pretty well (North Row R was closest available for 4 together).

Its cool because the memebers don't take up most of the close seats so I was able to get seats at row K and the closest i can get at the sixers is row around Q.

The series will be a great chance to see how well Luke Schenscher's knee has recovered and to observe the development of Mills and Ogilvy over the last 12 months.

There is no mention of Andersen or Neilson in your list Isaac, anybody know what their status is?

Off doing something else I'd say. Hit the BA site - they'd probably mention it there.

Not sure if CJ Bruton will play...he's probably got bigger offers to go play "in Europe" *cough*
