Boomers v Tall Blacks

Added 12 June 2007

Basketball Australia is pleased to announce that tickets for the 2007 FIBA Oceania Men’s Championship presented by Resi Mortgage, between the Australia Post Boomers and the New Zealand Tall Blacks, go on sale at noon, Thursday June 7.

The winner of the series earns the right to play in Beijing in 2008.

The last times the two teams met have been battles of epic proportions.

Australia defeated New Zealand to win the Gold Medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in a cliff hanger last March, 81-76.

New Zealand then enacted revenge by taking home the Ramsay Shield after defeating Australia in the four game 2007 Resi Mortgage Test Series on a points count back after the series was tied at two games apiece.
