While it has become a little quiet on the hoops news front here in Australia, a few of our fellow countrymen are achieving elsewhere in the world.
- Pat Mills has been named to the All-Bay Area team. This is the San Fransisco Bay area team. Other Division 1 schools that come into consideration besides St Mary's are, San Fransisco, California, Stanford and Santa Clara.
Although Mills missed a portion of the season due to a hand injury, he was in line for the MVP of this team.
- Mills is not done with his award collecting as he was joined by Utah Ute centre Luke Nevill on the CollegeHoops.net high-major All-America 1st team.
- While Andrew Bogut will not get any awards for his play this year (due to injury) he should be congratulated on the great job he did recently in raising $50k for the Bushfire victims in Victoria. Read all about the event right here.
- This may be old news to some but Matt Nielsen has been named to the All-Eurocup second team.
Nielsen's Spanish team Pamesa Valencia lost in the quarter finals of the Euro Cup to Russian team BC Khimki.
- David Andersen will get another chance to play for a European title in the upcoming weeks.
His team Barcelona will be joined by CSKA Moscow (his old team), Greek power Olympiacos and the Greek "Green Machine", Panathinaikos.
The Euroleague Final Four will be held in Berlin from May 1st through 3rd.
- As the Greek League is heading towards the playoffs, Brad Newley has continued to build on his very solid season. His last performance of 21pts and 8 rebs highlights what a great year he is having.
Look for Newley to impress with the Houston Rockets in the NBA Summer Leagues this off season.
- While on award winners...A fellow Aussie blogger A Stern Warning has asked for some good old Aussie support. His blog banner has been nominated in a contest (a Basketblog Header Playoff) and he needs our support.
Click on the above link and vote for his banner.
I find it interesting that two Portland fans would be put head to head in such a contest.

Thanks for the support JR. I'll appreciate anyone out there who takes time out of their busy mouse-clicking schedule to vote for A Stern Warning!
