Bigby-Williams is third in the country in rebounding heading into the game at 13.2 per outing, and leading the country in blocks at 6.3 per game, along with 16.3 points on an efficient 54.6% from the field (full stats).

The 6’10” big man continues to receive interest from a number of NCAA Division 1 schools, already sitting on offers from Montana State (where he originally committed before heading to JUCO), UC Irvine (where he could team up with GB U20 teammate Luke Nelson), Iona, Utep, Bradley and Charlotte, while also receiving interest from a number of high major programmes, such as USC, Oklahoma State, Auburn, Utah and Texas.

Also at Gilette is former England Under-18 Dwayne Orija, who is averaging 4.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 14.7 minutes per game off the bench as a Freshman.

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.
