Show Preview
Despite dominating the first two quarters, the Boomers have slumped to a demoralising defeat and fourth-place finish at the Basketball World Cup, losing by eight to France.
Final score
Australia 59
France 67
The Boomers will face off against France for the second time in the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup as they meet to settle the matter of a Bronze Medal. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog, starting from 6pm AEST.
Australia went down in a thriller to Spain in the semi finals, while France was outclassed by the Argentina side. Australia will be looking to bounce back and send a message after their loss to the Spaniards after the game went to two over-times and the players felt disrespected by the referees in the loss.
France will want to get revenge on the Australian side that beat them just a few days earlier.
Their previous matchup saw the Australia team come from behind thanks to a stellar performance from Patty Mills, overcoming the 31 points from Evan Fournier who always finds another level in international play.
Australia has a chance to earn their first medal of any type in international competition and with their previous result against France they will fancy their chances highly.
Can the Australian’s overcome the fatigue from their matchup against Spain, or will the French side reverse their loss from a few days prior and take home the bronze?
A lot of eyes will likely be on Andrew Bogut who unleashed an expletive-riddled tirade at FIBA as he left the court on Friday night.
Tune in to The Roar at 6pm to follow along on what could be a historic day for Australian basketball.
