Men's Basketball
This year's tournament team is relatively inexperienced when compared with past Victoria teams. However Kevin Elliot and Hugh Mainwaring have both previously represented NZU. together with Fred Lockwood, who represented Auckland University two years ago. They are however the only players in the team with previous tournament experience
Inter-varsity basketball is of a particularly high standard, so this team's prospects are not rated unduly highly. Surprises are however not uncommon in men's basketball.
An interesting feature of this year's tournament is the participation of an Adelaide University team which is reputed to include several members of the successful Australian team at the Tokyo Olympic games.
Team members are Hugh Mainwaring, Kevin Elliot, Fred Lockwood, Bruce Ramsey, Jonathan Fox, Robert Patience, Norm Parris and Dennis Smith.
