Armbruster impresses

Another Aussie has flown through the Butterfly heats but got caught late in a very fast heat.

Ben Armbruster had to wait for all of the times to be official to see if he goes through but got good news as he and Temple made the semifinals.

Rampant win!

The Aussies are almost certain to get through to the knockout stages of the 3x3 women’s basketball after dismantling Azerbaijan.

The Azerbaijanies fought back late but couldn’t stop the Aussies who played with grit and skill to win 21-12.

In form

Mansfield, Wilson and WA’s Maley have started perfectly!

They are keeping the pressure on and passing the ball around the court with quick passes until they can break into the paint.

Wilson is also still hot from deep.
