Vanderbilt defeat AIS
I agree with you OT Fan. 14 our of 15 from last season are returning and they have a likely first round NBA selection player in our own AJ Ogilvy in the paint. Someone like Beal could also get picked up late in the draft.
Why else would coach Stallings fork out $100k of hios own money to finance their Australian trip if he did not think his team was a serious threat and chance for a run at the NCAA tourney this season?
The one difference Vandy have this season compared to others is depth. When AJ arrived the team relied on both him and Shan to score the majority of their points. Now they have up top 5 guys who can get it done.
I hope they do well.

It was the same AIS team that played all of the SEABL season. So guys like Jordan Page, Mitchell Young and Matt Dellavedova who are all headed to Saint Mary's played, including against their new team SMC the other day!

Here's an entertainment idea taken from the NBL site:
http://www.nbl.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&aid=2498
The Crocs have basically cloned the Australian Idol competition and used it as their three quarter time entertainment. They call it "CrocIdol" (love the name).
It has nothing to do with basketball, but I would find it entertaining. Anyone else?
Would it be too late to get this going (Potsie)? Would there be any interested participants with talent (or without)? Three quarter time is too short for this, but half time might be an option.

Who's playing for the AIS - I assume all the Emus except Hugh Greenwood have moved on?
