Luke Nelson’s UC Irvine Anteaters Talk the Coming Season

By Sam Neter on November 6, 2013

Luke Nelson and his UC Irvine Anteaters have high hopes for the coming season, having been picked to win the Big West in this year’s preseason media poll and by several media outlets.

The 1995 born is already impressing in his short time in the states, looking good in scrimmages, with some hinting he could start,

Winning its first conference tournament title would mean the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth in its 37th season since it joined the Division I ranks.

Check out this little video with Nelson and the team talking about the impending season – which will tip off this Friday against Fresno State.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
