No Standouts, Brits in the NCAA Recap 26/02/10

By Sam Neter on February 27, 2010

We are coming towards the end of the regular season in college basketball, normally means some of the bench players (on losing teams) will get a few more minutes, will be interesting to see how it pans out. There were 5 Brits in action last night, check em out…

Ben Mockford (6′2, 170lbs, G, Freshman, Shoreham-by-Sea) Iona Gaels
Fairfield defeated Iona 71-54 Friday night to determine sole possession of second place in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Ben Mockford registered 5 minutes off the bench, going 0/1 from three point land to remain scoreless and adding 1 turnover.

Iona Gaels are now 20-9 (11-6 MAAC).

Justin Robinson (6′2, 190lbs, G, Junior, London) Rider Broncs
In what would be considered a relatively decent game for the majority of other Brits in NCAA Division 1, for Justin Robinson he struggled. In 31 minutes, he finished with 5 points (2/7 shooting), 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in Rider’s 80-54 blowout loss to Siena last night.

The Broncs are now 15-15 (8-9 MAAC).

Glen Izevbigie (6′10, 230lbs, C, Senior, London) Savannah State Tigers
In what was Glen Izevbigie’s last game of NCAA Division 1 ball, Savannah State ended its season with a 94-68 rout of Carver Bible College on Friday night. Izevbigie got the starting role, finishing with 4 minutes and going scoreless on 0/1 shooting but adding 1 steal.

The Tigers finished up 11-15 (8-3).

Paul Guede (6′5, 205lbs, G/F, Junior, London) Portland State Vikings
Portland State broke a 5 game losing streak to cruise to a 98-63 victory over Idaho State on Friday night, securing a place in the league’s post-season tournament. Paul Guede, in his regular starting role, finished with 6 points (2/3 field goals, 1/3 at the line), 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals in 25 minutes of playing time.

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.
