PREVIEW
Unbeaten and untroubled during the pool games, Victoria Metro boys face a quarterfinal against a side who barely squeezed into the final eight.
While the Vics were comfortable in winning all five of their games this week, including the latest 30-point demolition of SA Metro, Tasmania only won two of their six games and just did enough to deny NSW Country fourth spot.

Harry Blyth’s 34-point, 11 rebound game in the 91-67 win over ACT late on Thursday was enough to push Tassie into the sudden death games.
But they will now face a team who has been in complete control all week.
Alexander Mabbott, who hit 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds against SA Metro, Liam Keogh, Tom Dammers, Charlie Wilson and Josh Mccann are all big scoring threats.
The other boys quarterfinal on Court 1 is at 6pm and features NSW Metro, who recovered from losing their opening two games, to grab second spot with a 90-83 win over WA Country, and the hosts, Victoria Country.
