Here is what Hoops SA (http://www.hoops.com.au/) poster "Jack Toft" had to say about the clash (note: these comments are from an online basketball forum, where posters are anonymous, and the person that wrote them is not necessarily involved with the Lions).

Lions – Tigers @ Starplex (Safari Cup)
Women: I think the last time the Lionesses won by 40 points was.... It’s 4 v 6 in what will be another clash of the big cats. The Tigers seem to be the slightly better on paper with better shooting from the floor, more rebounds and more points, but the Lions have the edge from the arc, the stripe and in assists. Lions are doing well defensively, but need to find about another goal or two per quarter to be considered top 5. The Tigers need to hold teams to a couple points less per game to keep their spot. Both teams have beaten the Mavs, but the Lions did it by more and may just take out the clash on their home savannah. Could get down to the last play.

Men: Lions are not playing badly at the moment, but just can’t quite get the W. It's a bit like grabbing a fish. Tigers beat the Panthers last week showing just how even the men’s comp is and should expect a "frosty" reception at Starplex. Despite the lack on big names, this clash will be as hard fought as two bachelors fighting over Pippa Middleton’s phone number. Sadly for Tigers fan, the Lions might just break their drought tonight as I think “The Kolassh-nikov” might be the difference.
