    The Breakers are preparing to go to dark places squaring off against the NBL's top team in Illawarra tonight

    The Breakers are preparing to go to dark places squaring off against the NBL's top team in Illawarra tonight


    The ladder-leading Hawks are the first clash in a crazy schedule that sees the ninth-placed Breakers playing four Top 6 sides in just eight days.

    Big man Sam Mennenga says they have to outwit against a team that has more heart than star power.



    Tip-off is 7.30pm.
