The fixture represents the first-ever commercial game between Australia and an NCAA Division I men\u2019s basketball team, while also doubling as the Boomers\u2019 final hit-out before they travel to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to try defend the FIBA Asia Cup.<\/p>\n

The Boomers have been drawn in Group A, which includes South Korea, Qatar and 2022 finalists Lebanon. <\/p>\n

The Boomers announced their 12-man squad for the trip to Jeddah earlier in the week, with coach Adam Caporn leaning into a youth movement for the most part. <\/p>\n

The squad\u2019s average age is 23.8 with NBL Next Star and projected lottery pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Dash Daniels, headlining the group.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He becomes just the fifth Australian men\u2019s basketballer to represent the Boomers on the international stage at just 17 years old and is the youngest since Ben Simmons in 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited about this group representing Australia and the dedication they\u2019ve shown to the Boomers program,\u201d said Caporn.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a strong competitive start to camp, and we feel we\u2019re building something special from these early foundations.\u201d <\/p>\n

Perth Wildcats young gun Ben Henshall has also been named along with Louisville sharpshooter Reyne Smith, who is fresh off playing at the NBA Summer League.<\/p>\n

Jack McVeigh and Jack White, who were also vying for NBA two-way contracts in Las Vegas, are a few of the veteran names in the squad along with Xavier Cooks and Will Magnay while championship-winning Illawarra Hawks guard Davo Hickey also features.<\/p>\n

The game against the University of Colorado gets underway on Thursday at 6.30pm AEST and will be live on Fox Sports and Kayo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thing about Australian basketball is that there\u2019s a lot of pride,\u201d Buffaloes head coach Tad Boyle said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of good players who have come to the United States to play college basketball, who are in the NBA from that country, and the Boomers are their team.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it\u2019ll be a heck of a challenge for us, heck of an opportunity for us to get better. You want to play against the best, so we\u2019re trying to do that. We are really fortunate and happy to have this opportunity.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n
