NBL: The Tasmania JackJumpers have won game three thanks to Jack McVeigh's epic game-winner, leaving them now just one win away from the NBL Championship.
The Tasmania JackJumpers stand on the brink of history ahead of tonight’s Game 4 of the NBL championship series .
Already, the JackJumpers are being called the “most successful expansion club” in Australian history – across any code. MyState Bank Arena in Glenorchy has a capacity of just 4,340, with the team desperate for a long-awaited upgrade to add another 1,500-plus seats to finally go ahead. Part of that came from him coining the mantra “Defend the Island” when he first took over the team, which has become far more than a motto for the club – but a rallying cry for the whole state.
He added: “It has morphed into something bigger getting respect from the mainland not being punched down at, or jabbed at.”“There is no need to be punching down at us, we’re going to be swinging back just as hard.”
