First win by Australia over Argentina since 1990 (obviously both sides are not at full strength now, but still!). This win was without Barlow too. I might be biased, but I liked this bit:

Peter Crawford (9 points), Steven Weigh (7 points), Luke Nevill (7 points) and Aron Baynes (6 points and 6 rebounds) all played their part in the victory, as did Oscar Forman.

"Gibson has been solid throughout the whole tour but Oscar was really the unsung hero of this game. He had thirteen points off the bench and hit a huge three in the second overtime to put us up by four."
Full story on the Boomers site

They play Brazil tomorrow who are apparently going to suit Barbosa, Varejao and Splitter. Rough for Australia, but great for the local crowd to have a few of their stars playing. (Just missing Nene?)

Where was the crowd? Looked like Scola was playing for Argentina so it couldn't have been too much of a second string side they put on court, huge win for the Boomers, great to see.

What a win for the Boomers development team! A great effort against a very strong Argentina team.

Super win. Not a great Argentinean team in, they will have to play well to qualify for Turkey - although I think they will get one of the final couple of spots.

But still, beating them in Sth America with prob only 2-3 of our best team playing is a good effort, and great experience for some young guys.
