Australians left in NCAA tournament

My roundup of the Sweet 16 Aussies here:

After the first week of the 2015 NCAA Tournament, there are just three Australian men and women combined that have advanced to the Sweet 16. Leading the way were Kristy Wallace (Baylor), Georgia Stirton (Gonzaga) and for the men Mangok Mathiang (Louisville).

I think the facts clearly indicate that Thompson did not play on the '04 UConn championship team.

OK - so he is listed on that roster - but did he play a game? Yet to see any stats that he played a game that season and hence prove he was an active player on that roster and hence draw a conclusion that he was a red-shirt that year unless I can be provided with any other evidence to the contrary.

These stats would beg to differ on the years Thompson attended UConn.

Ryan Thompson - UConn

Sports Reference has the same years listed. He did not play with the '04 championship team.

I meant 2004 team and he first played in 2004/05 season.

Ryan Thompson did not play on the 2014 Connecticut championship team - he played the following 2014/15 season for 2 years.

And yes, Mathiang (Louisville) in the men's side and Wallace (Baylor) and Stirton (Gonzaga) both made it to the Sweet 16 on the women's side.

Yep - Brown was not on the official roster that season as he red-shirted.

Mathiang also red-shirted when Louisville won their last national title.

And I cannot think of an Aussie who has won the NCAA Tournament either. From memory, Gaze and Schenscher went closest - both coming runners-up.

Luke Kendall and David Barlow won a national championship together in NCAA Division 2 with Metro State (Kendall won 2).
