Nice story anon, there are so many great basketball journeys out there, so many more players (male & female) that are under the radar so to speak.

How many people know that two Aussie men played in the NCAA D2 final and another played significant minutes in the semi final of that tournament?

So many Aussies now at US colleges, would make a great story every month I reckon...
