Melbourne United announces August games against college teams

Released today that Melbourne United will play 2 U.S colleges this coming off-season. Link below:

The first game is against Saint Marys College on August 9th at the State Basketball center in Knox and then on August 16th against L.M.U at Casey Basketball Stadium in Cranbourne. Both schools have close ties to Australian hoops with the SMC pipeline being well documented and L.M.U being the former school of most notably Matty Knight and Damo Martyn. I think Mark Worthington may be a graduate assistant there too if my memory serves me correctly. United should win both games comfortably but it will be great to see a host of Aussies playing for Randy Bennet's Gaels.

Wortho played under former 36ers/Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap at Metro State.

Dunlap and staff have strong links in Adelaide still, regularly coming to town to recruit.

I believe Wortho is currently an assistant coach at LMU

Dunlap coaches LMU since 2014.

These games are a waste of time, United generally fields 2 maybe 3 regulars then get topped up with Big V or local SEABL players

Of course they do that. It's the beginning of the pre-season that's why.

Thanks Sherlock, it's also a tool for a membership drive.

Purely stating if you’re hoping to see United players tackle the college boys, save your coin

I can tell you're the sort of setup that when an opposition player yells foul, you scream "your Mum is"
