Date: February 3, 2012
The game between closely ranked teams ended with 5th ranked Townsville Crocodiles' (11-8) road loss to fourth ranked Cairns Taipans (11-9) 81-85. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning the initial quarter 22-15. But Townsville Crocodiles won second period 23-20. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The game was decided in the last minutes when Cairns Taipans won last quarter 25-22. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists comparing to just 5 passes made by Townsville Crocodiles' players. It was a good game for American point guard Jamar Wilson (185-84, college: Albany, agency: Pro One Sports) who led his team to a victory with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The other American import guard Andrew Warren (195-87, college: Bradley, agency: Interperformances) contributed with 24 points for the winners. Four Cairns Taipans players scored in double figures. American point guard Edward Gill (184-78, college: Weber St., agency: Priority Sports) replied with 17 points and the former international center Luke Schenscher (216-82, college: Georgia Tech, agency: Priority Sports) added 16 points in the effort for Townsville Crocodiles. Cairns Taipans maintains fourth position with 11-9 record. Townsville Crocodiles at the other side dropped to the third place with eight games lost. Cairns Taipans will play against league's second-placed Perth Wildcats at home in the next round and it may be the game of the week.
