NBL EXPERIENCE
Matt O’Hea made his NBL debut with the Melbourne Tigers at 23 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
In 2005, the Tigers were forced into rebuilding mode as legendary figures Andrew Gaze and his father Gaze retired while Tigers stalwarts Mark Bradtke and Lanard Copeland headed to Brisbane. By a stroke of luck, Chris Anstey, who after three seasons in Europe had decided he wanted to return to play in Australia, began talking to the Tigers, who were now the only NBL team in Melbourne.
With Anstey on board and David Stiff, Rashad Tucker, Darryl McDonald, Stephen Hoare and Daryl Corletto returning the team then looked to add a batch of young talent to help usher in a new era of Tigers success adding O’Hea, Tom Greer and Braith Cox. O’Hea would go on to average 0.3 points, 0.3 rebounds, and 0.1 assist a game to compliment Anstey, who was named the Philips Most Valuable Player of the 2005/06 Philips Championship season.
Together the Tigers finished with a 25-7 record which was also the best record ever recorded in team history and included a impressive 15-1 home record. After eliminating the Perth Wildcats in the semifinals in two straight games O’Hea and the Tigers would go on to defeat the defending triple-champions, the Sydney Kings in three straight games.
Matt O’Hea played four seasons the Melbourne Tigers. He averaged 1.3 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 0.2 assists in 64 NBL games.
Dan Boyce is a die-hard Sydney Kings fan who grew up in Melbourne during the roaring 90's of Australian Basketball and spent far too much time collecting Futera NBL Basketball cards.
