Live stream: Watch Day 6 action at 2025 Basketball Australia Under-18 and Junior Wheelchair National Championships

The reigning boys champions have been eliminated while the leading ladies powered through their quarter-finals on a massive day at the U18 nationals. Watch all the REPLAYS here.

South Australia Metro has caused the shock of the tournament so far, knocking the reigning boys champions out in the quarter-finals of the Basketball Australia Under-18 National Championships.

Long-time powerhouse Victoria Metro was no match for the rampant SA side, who shot the lights out from long range to record a 100-70 victory.

Watch all the action from Friday’s fixtures in full match replays below.

SA, led by 28 points and 10 rebounds from captain Koby Moir, made 14 of 25 from beyond the arc on a lethal shooting night.

Four of those came from Moir while Zemes Pilot Holmes (16 points), Mack Schaftenaar (11), Luke Pfitzner (11), Josh Clayton (10) and Isaac Riddle (10) all gave Victoria Metro constant headaches.

SA restricted Victoria to just eight points in a defensively supreme second term.

In the other boys quarter-finals, Luke Paul and Andreas Grubisa starred again as tournament favourite WA Metro stormed past Queensland North 83-68.

Victoria Country booked their semi spot with a 80-64 win over Queensland South while Metro overcame Country 91-60 in the all-NSW battle.

On the girls side, Victoria’s position as a perennial power was further underlined with both women’s Metro and Country outfits advancing to the semi-finals.

But Vic Country did have to endure some nervous moments in their thrilling quarter-final against Queensland North.

Surrendering a 20-point halftime lead which led to scores being locked at 69-all with just more than a minute remaining, Country kept its nerve to cling on for a narrow 74-71 victory.

It could have been locked up again too at buzzer had Queenslander Isabel Smith’s long-range shot gone in.

After Country’s Eliza Ashby nonchalantly buried both free throws with just seconds remaining, Smith attempted to replicate Josh Giddey’s recent NBA heroics from mid court. And it only just missed, hitting the rim.

The undefeated Victoria Metro women had a far simplier assignment, comfortably dispatching of Queensland South 83-47 after a dominant second half.

Ahead four points at half-time, Victoria Metro slammed on 49 points to 17 to run away with the contest.

Pool A runner-up SA Metro always had the measure of Pool B’s WA Metro combination, progressing to the final four with a 73-59 win.

As expected, the undefeated Pool B powerhouse NSW Metro was far too strong for a persistent Tasmania outfit, saluting 74-52.
