 | | What Gaze did was send a noisy crowd to a fever pitch to inspire his team to hold off Italy and ensure the Aussies will play for an Olympic medal, something they have never won in basketball, coming as close as fourth in 1996. |
 | | Gaze learned from his father Lindsay, 64, who played for Australia at the 1960, 1964 and 1968 Olympics and coached the Aussies at the 1972, 1976, 1980 and 1984 Games - the last of those teams including his son Andrew, then 19. |
 | | Gaze had a three-point play and sank two free throws with 98 seconds remaining to cut the Italian edge to 62-61. |
