Aussies in the 2016 NCAA Tournament
Conference tournament week saw the highest of highs and lowest of lows for the Aussies. Stephanie Reid led Buffalo to a most unexpected MAC title, whilst Ashleigh Karaitiana led Hawaii to the Big West title. Idaho's quartet of Aussies also secured a spot in the national tournament with a win over in-state rivals Idaho State. Unfortunately, it wasn’t such good news for some of the Aussies, with South Dakota and Saint Mary’s falling agonisingly short of reaching the big dance.

Australia will be represented in the 2016 NCAA tournament by just two active representatives; Isaac Humphries at Kentucky and Jakob Cornelissen at Hawaii. Humphries and Kentucky qualified for an automatic berth in the big dance thanks to securing the SEC Tournament title, while Hawaii won a thrilling Big West Tournament final to book their ticket.
