**In short:**
It's been 30 years since Tasmania was booted from the women's national basketball league.
Now it's back, with the Tasmania Jewels to play their debut WNBL game in front of a sell-out crowd.
**What's next?**
The Jewels play at MyState Bank Arena on Thursday night against the Geelong Venom.
