Half-way the first half of the tournament we have a record of 4 - 0 and are currently on world-rank 43 and rising.
Could we manage to finish the first fase with a 8 - 0 record? That depends on the next match against New Zealand, who have a strong team. The unbeaten records is a nice goal to archieve.

Austria - New Zealand 115 - 90

Early-Morning Game against New Zealand, the match i 'feared' most for the 8-0 record, and we've won again !

What a great guard-combi we have with Stolz (29 pts) and Haselmayr (22 pts), assisted by Bajin at SF (19 pts) and a great inside Defense from Rieser (14 reb.). Still unbeaten, for a small BB-Country as Austria i think a great result.

Downside is that i hardly see any players that could be suitable for the NT, as the players in the U21 have a low potential (Haselmayr = allstar, Rieser = allstar). Please keep train de 'low-potentials' for the U21, but don't forget to train the high-potentials for U21 and NT !! If you have a high-potential but not able or know how to train, please contact me or Hupfingatsch.

U21 Update

Just finished the final game in the first round consolation tournament (away against al-jazair, win 86-60), and we have the 8-0 record !!
I think a great archievement from our squad!

Tomorrow we'll know who we will face next round, at least we have homecourt advantage.

Also, tomorrow we will know if we rise in the world-rank (currently 38)
Highest ever for the u21 was pos. 28 in season 14 (2010).

Update later this week !

U21 - Newsflash

Austria U21 defeated in second round of Play-Offs Consolation Tournament

After a great match in the first Knock-Out Phase against Andorra (85 - 124), Austria had to face the strong
team of Chile. Although Austria had home-court advantage, they never were the upper team. After overtime Chile won with less effort (115-104) and will go through to the next round.

After a great season, where Austria went undefeated to the KO-Phase, it is expected that the manager from this point on will focus on next season and will give the new 20-yr potentials there chance to prove their value for Austria.

Congrats! It was a great season for our U21 NT!

U21 - Scoutingupdate

Here are the results of the Austrian jury.....

U21 - The Season 40 Squad

After a great season, with lots of (unexpected) wins, the game against the NT was the goodbye-match for the 21-yrs.
Special thanx to Daniel Haselmayr, Arndt Stolz, Simon Kramer, Florain Platzer and Branislav Bajin and their coaches.
Some of them might make it to the NT.

At the same time we welcome the new talent. Currently the new U21 looks like this, and will stay so if i get re-elected:

Guards
(41215359) Matthias Seibold (20yr; Pot.5) from Berlovento Kings in Spain. Our nr.1 SG with potential 5!
(41215575) Günther Herberstein (20yr; Pot.6) from Magic Metz Team in France.
(41988089) Alfred Stein (20yr; Pot.6) from Brawlers in Utopia. Guard with some inside skills
(41988021) Otokar Juris (20yr; Pot.6) from Electrolux Basket in Austria.
(41988058) Stefan Schrittwieser (19yr; Pot.9) from Sopron Snow Leopards in Utopia.

Not selected, but close to the team:
(42772128) Sandro-Manuel Walch (18yr; Pot.7) from Kuzuryu Utopolis in Utopia. Already close to be nr 1 guard at the age of 18.
(41987971) Yannick Berggold (19yr; Pot.8) from Bisamberg Torpedos in Austria.


Small Forward
(41987963) Philipp Kronsteiner (20yr; Pot.8) from Ebensee Nuggets
(41987932) Rainer Steinwender (19yr; Pot.9) from Lokomotive Coma
(41215353) Andreas Pfanner (20yr; Pot.6) from Meidling Parrots
(42772113) Robert Schrei (19yr; Pot.9) also from Meidling Parrots


The Bigs at PF/C
(41215348) Kevin Rieser (20yr; Pot.6) from Lyon Villeurbanne, our Number One Big.
(41987937) Roman Machacek (20yr; Pot.9) from Bisamberg Adler in Utopia; close to Kevin Rieser
(42772153) Stefan Weber (19yr; Pot.10) from Spirits and Souls; way less then the two above.
(41987877) Mark Storck (19yr; Pot.8) from Davids AllStars in Utopia, Backup for the Backup.

Talents; coming up and the future
(42772092) Dietrich Schartner (18yr; Pot.6) from Incredibulls in Italy
(41988072) Kalvin Peischl (19yr; Pot.10) from buiele team in Italy
(41987893) Walter Buchleitner (19yr; Pot.9) from Joe.City.Nets
(41988009) Günther Schraml (19yr; Pot.7) from CB Schnubu II in Utopia
(42772131) Maurizio Zora (19yr; Pot.9) from Wels Mads 2.0


As you can see; a lot of low-potential players are trained. This is okay for the U21, but it would be nice to see some more high-potentials in the team, also for the future of the NT.

Next up: the scouting after the draft. I'll keep you posted.
