Great win by the 36ers today to stop Melbourne's winning streak at 8.
Should have won it easily in normal time but almost blew it to win in OT.
Hannahs was huge down the stretch.

Incredible win really after the loss to Tassie on Friday night. The odds for the 36ers to win this game would've been insane especially after being flogged by United about a week ago, I was expecting a 30 point loss to be honest.

I was out having lunch at the Willaston and asked them to pop the 36ers game on even when we left at H/T I still thought we would fin a way to blow it. The big Filipino Kai Sotto was showing a bit in the first half too. One of the biggest upsets in the NBL for years.

Goulding shot like a dog. He will not have played 34 minutes for 4 points ever.

I hadn't watched a game for quite a while and couldn't believe how goddam awful he was, I would have shot better!

Goulding shot like a dog. He will not have played 34 minutes for 4 points ever.

Just realised that his 4 points came from the free throw line so not one field goal.

A bit of talk around the 36ers are about to sign Jerome Randle for a third time!

However, upon further investigation it now appears the man is likely to be Jerome Randle. His last stint in Adelaide ended unceremoniously, but he was the NBL MVP back in 2017, is a two-time All-NBL First Team member and more importantly, he wants back into the league.

The 34-year-old is currently playing in his adopted home country of Ukraine, but he has made no secret in recent months on social media of his desire for an NBL club to snap him up.

It appears the 36ers are about to secure his signature and announce his return to Adelaide, which does give them someone to take over much of the ball carrying duties.
