Boise State are through also. They will play La Salle Thursday AEST.
Ryan Broekhoff and Valpo take on Michigan State Friday AEST.
Technically they need to win the play in game to be "in".

Div 1 NCAA tournament has some teams with Aussies, that's great and should be good to watch how they go, but Div 2 also has lots of Aussies playing in some very good teams.
What about Div 2 NCAA Tournamnet, when is this on? Is it the same time, or later...?

Cheers CR...
We shouldn't forget our brothers and sisters in Div 2 or minor leagues!
Geezz can't believe Pitt (Steven Adams) got a #8 seeding.. they will come up against the #1 Zags in the second round.. So look for the Zags to get knocked early!
Could be good money if you put some coin on Pitt!

@Bear ... absolutely, there are plenty of Aussie kids playing Div II and perhaps even more playing Junior College.
Have not heard of many playing NAIA but there are probably a few.
The college system us huge and there is lots of room for many good Aussie players at all levels, so let's cheer them all on during their finals campaigns ...

The competition is fairly even on paper to kick off the campaign with no clear favourite. It should be an exciting series.
Stacks of Aussies in the various team, certainly cheer them all on.
Go Hoyas!

Smc Gaels game against middle tennessee is televised today @ 11am on ESPN
I know of at least 20 Aussies playing in the NAIA and about 6 would be good enough to come off the bench in NBL when they finish their senior year
