While most of the focus this summer has been on Eurobasket 2011 and the FIBA Americas tournament, there was another Olympic qualifying tournament, the FIBA Oceania.
The championship series came down between Australia and New Zealand and these two countries do not like each other. Not one bit!
In the end, Australia captured gold but the win was anything but easy.
Check out the fireworks during game one of the championship series (via Bloguin’s own With Malice) and to say the game was physical is a slight understatement.
