Round of 16 match preview! Australia faces world number 7 Turkey in their elimination match of the FIBA World Cup. The Turkish team is led by New Orleans Pelicans Centre Ömer Aşık, who is averaging 10.8 points and 9.2 rebounds, and Forward Emir Preldžić, who is currently leading the team in scoring (11.8 ppg) and assists (4.2 apg). It will be up to Aron Baynes and a combination of Joe Ingles and Ryan Broekhoff to shut down these stars in the hope of a win. The consistent bench production from Bairstow, Motum, and even Nate Jawaii and Dante needs to continue if the Aussies are any chance to progress. The Boomers go into the game as slight favourites, but based on their recent form against Angola, have a lot of work to do to get the job done. Make sure you stay tuned to see if the Aussie men make it through to the Quarter Finals, which will be against the winner of New Zealand vs Lithuania!
