Australian basketball fans have been asking, “Will the Boomers vs Pac 12 series be broadcast anywhere?”

After some cutting edge investigative journalism, and some remote control wizardry I can finally answer that question for you.

Yes!

Despite the deafening silence from Basketball Australia on the matter, the Boomers Farewell series will indeed be broadcast, LIVE and in HD on Fox Sports 2.

The games will be shown on Tuesday and Thursday, the 12^th and 14^th of July respectively, at 7:30pm AEST.

The Boomers team which will contest the series will be without Andrew Bogut, but there are promising signs for his Olympic hopes as he works to recover from a freak knee injury with the Australian team camp.

Bogut has been working on his cardio, boxing with trainers, and is said to be optimistic about his recovery thus far.

Andrej Lemanis has stated that Bogut will be named in the Boomers’ final 12 man team, giving the big man another 30 days to get fit before suiting up against a yet-to-be-named opponent on August 6.

Now was that so hard, Basketball Australia?

Now Justin Tatum is in his fourth season with Illawarra, and the Hawks have gone from NBL champions to the bottom of the ladder. Could they be experiencing the same problem? Justin Tatum transformed Illawarra from one of the NBL's worst teams into champions. But ahead of today's clash…

COULD BRIAN GOORJIAN HAVE SAVED THE MELBOURNE TIGERS?

In 2002, the Melbourne Tigers were fighting for survival when they identified an opportunity to attract supporters from their biggest rivals. Their plan to honour Brian Goorjian was blocked by the Victoria Giants, potentially changing the course of Melbourne basketball history. In 2002, the Melbourne Tigers devised a plan that could have changed the future of their club.
