This coming August, Utah Jazz point-man Dante Exum and the Australian national hoops squad will go head to head with New Zeland in the FIBA Oceania Championships. The two-game, home and home set will serve as a qualifier for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
Over the weekend, it was announced that the Boomers will host the Tall Blacks at Rod Laver Arena, a stadium in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia with a seating capacity of 15,000. The event marks the return on FIBA play to the region for the first time since the months leading up to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
