We could have an Australian champion amongst the first ever winners of BuzzerBeater Madness. Tier 6 semi-final stage, and if we use salary as the judge, j-jacks looks to be the favourite in their overnight match against Nico University. It will be a tough final if they advance, especially if it's against Leeds City Ballers and their two NT players in the backcourt, but even then I think it's very doable.

Are there any other Australian teams still alive this late into BBM? Maybe someone down in division III that has been quietly putting together a good run...

Nico 2-3'd an outside offence and got blown out. Make that one win from history for Jack.

He's built a beast of a Div 2 side and I reckon you might be seeing him in ABBL VERY soon (I'll be happy to see him gone from our comp, that's for sure).

Thanks gents, game shape is almost perfect so I’ve done all I can prep wise. Just need to pray to the BB gods and have a think about the tactics.
Wasn’t happy meeting you in the national tournament final Jay

It's a shame the draw designated Leeds as the home team (neutral venue of course) as now most of us won't be able to watch this big showdown. I would stretch it, but then I wouldn't stay awake for my arrangement tomorrow. Will just have to log in and hope Jack's number is higher than Leeds.

I haven't paid as much attention to the BBM this season as the novelty has worn off a bit, there's a lot of tournaments running at the same time, and I now have a second team to look after. j-jacks did end up winning the tier 6 trophy last season, and I wanted to post to ask if anyone from our country made it deep this time. I don't recognize any team names in the semis but didn't check all 56 team pages.

By the way, the plan I've mentioned in the ABBL forums is still intact. BBM tier 1 next season, B3 the season after that. Easier said than done since a BBM victory requires you to go 12-1 overall, but I've got the money now for one more killer guard to complete the line-up again.
