Mount Gambier accepted into NBL1
yes, was crazy not included in year 1. At least they have seen the sense now and not to proud to effectively acknowledge oversight from previous year. lucky mt gambier were able to stay alive during the 1 year hiatus.

who are you saying kicked the pioneers out?

If they were concerned about having no one to play against then why kick Pioneers out in year 1?

So what benefit to state leagues being rebadged to NBL1? I’m not seeing many positives and lots of downsides. I’d like to see what the NBL and Basketball Victoria are offering!

Surely De Wit wouldn't leave a starting 5 position in a grand final winning team to go back to barely getting a few minutes a game in the Mount. Doesn't seem smart.

Any other new teams to NBL1?

I saw NBL 1 final and I think top SA teams would be competitive

Now the rest of Adelaide can go back to their little city league, 36 years behind the rest of the country!

Hopefully Daly doesn’t choke it up again this season losers hahahahaha

Great news. Will add another great dimension to the comp.
Were the Huskies pulling out though ? MG a replacement for Huskies ? So, still 18 teams ?
And what about the COE ?


Wonder who is going to cover the travel costs?
Basketball vic do my head in.
How quickly they change their tune, acted like they didnt know them now this year they are welcoming them back like they need money off them.

Did someone say they didn't whinge??? they threw pies at BA and had enough people out here complaining for them including the poor Basketball SA who didn't like being bullied in their own league.
^^^^ all that above aside - GREAT to have them back good crowds, tough venue to play in, provide a great opportunity for young players to play away from home in a true semi-pro environment

Will they go with 19 teams or will someone drop out?
If not, would make sense to add another and have an even 20, maybe two conferences of 10

Fantastic news.
Good to hear!

To pump they guys up Marty showed them his old Giants DVD.
But his Tasmania speak didn't translate to well!
