2009-10 College Basketball Season - NCAA D1
The NCAA basketball season finally gets underway this coming week, with games commencing on Monday 9th November (Tuesday 10th November Australian time).
With so many Aussies set to compete in the 2009-10 season I am looking forward to tracking their progress. I am particulalry interested in a couple of Aussies with NBA potential, including AJ Ogilvy (Vanderbilt) and Ater Majok (UConn) who recently both played for the Australian Boomers.
Also, teams with an Australian flavour include Patty Mill's college Saint Mary's, who will be boasting 5 AIS graduates on their roster, 4 at Southern Utah, 3 at Nicholls State, 2 at Stetson, 2 at Colorado, 2 at Gardner-Webb, and another 2 at Saint Louis.
Here is a list of all the Aussies I have been able to identify for the coming NCAA Division 1 season - please feel free to add to the list.

I will be posting a short preview of a few players whom I believe have a lot of promise for Australian basketball early in the week. I will then update the threads with their results throughout the season like I did for the last one.
