When you combine the team’s on-court success with that off-court significance, you get a debut season that will be hard to follow up. They did so by beating the defending champions and minor premiers in an elimination game, spurred on by a home crowd that was among the most raucous the league has ever seen. Despite having just one local on their roster, development player Sejr Deans, the underdog status of the JackJumpers saw them immediately connect with the fan base in a way that few other Tasmanian teams have. That’s an attitude befitting of a brand new team that entered the season with zero external expectations. After a remarkable performance in their first year, the NBL’s newest team had their fate taken out of their hands in the last game of the regular season. A South East Melbourne Phoenix win would see them sneak into the top four; a Perth Wildcats victory would end their season on the spot.
