Jamal Tahraoui Wins Sooner Athletic Conference Championship

By on March 7, 2017

Jamal Tahraoui has won a Sooner Athletic Conference Championship with the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma after defeating Oklahoma City 93-90 in the tournament final on Saturday.

With the win, Tahraoui and the USAO Drovers have booked their space in the NAIA National Tournament starting next week.

The win improved USAO to 19-13 on the season as Tahraoui has averaged 7.1 points and 3.1 rebounds in 15 minutes per game in thirteen appearances.


“This is my second season with this team and we fell short last year in the Conference championship which hurt,” the 6’7″ forward Tahraoui said.

“This year’s team, we came back with a solid nucleus of players who understand each other with a few new additions and new assistant coach. Winning the tournament is by far one of the best feelings I’ve had. By no means necessary are we done now, onto the National Tournament next week, March 15, and we’re on our way to the second Championship!

“I have one ring to bring back but I need another.”

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.
