Utah Tech 75 🇦🇺 Manhattan 79
Sophomore Fraser Roxburgh led Manhattan to a hard-fought win with 19 points and 8 rebounds in 35 minutes. The Melbourne forward was lethal from long range (3-from-6 from deep) and provided key interior energy on both ends. His performance marked a strong bounce-back after a quiet outing against USC, continuing an impressive early-season stretch for the sophomore.

🇦🇺 Northern Kentucky 63 East Tennessee State 75
Australian freshman Ethan Elliott contributed six points and three rebounds on 50% shooting in Northern Kentucky’s loss to ETSU. The Perth guard added an assist but battled turnover trouble (4) as the Norse fell short on the road. It was another solid scoring effort to start his collegiate career.
North Texas 64 🇦🇺 Oregon State 66
Yaak Yaak provided an efficient defensive lift off the bench as Oregon State edged North Texas 66–64. The Adelaide-born junior centre recorded two points, two rebounds, and two key blocks in just nine minutes, continuing his steady impact in limited playing time for the unbeaten Beavers.

🇦🇺 Siena 66 St. Bonaventure 75
Australian junior Tasman Goodrick battled on the glass in Siena’s loss at St. Bonaventure, collecting 12 rebounds to go with four points and two assists in 35 minutes. Despite an off shooting night, the Sydney forward maintained his early-season form as one of the Saints’ most reliable rebounders and interior presences.
