Hustle Wrap: 3×3 Big Hustle Tasmania State Championships- Hobart, TAS

It has been a big year of basketball for Tasmania, with the Jackjumpers making their NBL debut and the North West Thunder, Hobart Chargers and Launceston Tornadoes all having successful NBL1 South stints before the season was cut short by COVID-19.
