Robinson Shines, Brits in the NCAA Roundup 15/02/10

By Sam Neter on February 16, 2010

There were 6 British ballers in action last night in NCAA Division 1. Read on to see how they fared…

Ben Daniels (6’6, 190lbs, G, Freshman, Manchester) Houston Baptist Huskies
Houston Baptist Huskies were routed 107-87 by North Texas Mean Green (what a name!). The only positive being it mean Ben Daniels would get on to the court. He finished with a blank statline apart from 1 turnover in just 3 minutes of action.

The Houston Baptist Huskies are now 6-19 (5-2).

Glen Izevbigie (6’10, 230lbs, C, Senior, London) Savannah State Tigers
Savannah State won for the fifth time in its last seven, an 82-68 victory over Stetson. Big man Glen Izevbigie got 1 minute off the bench and finished 0/1 from the field for 0 points but did register 1 offensive rebound.

The Tigers are now 10-14.

Hugh Barnett (6’9, 265lbs, F/C, Senior, London) Arkansas Pine Bluff Golden Lions
Arkansas-Pine Bluff secured a win over Alcorn State (who have won just one game this season). Unfortunately, our Brit Hugh Barnet only managed 2 minutes off the bench, going 1/2 at the line for 1 point and adding 1 turnover.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff are now 10-14 overrall (not having won a game outside their conference), but sit second in the SWAC at 10-3.

Justin Robinson (6’2, 190lbs, G, Junior, London) Riders Broncs
Rider defeated St. Peters 72-66 last night thanks to 70.8 percent shooting in the second half (17 of 24), and 58 percent overall. Justin Robinson had a season high 8 assists to go along with 11 points (4/11 from the field, 1/5 threes, 2/4 at the line), 5 rebounds and 1 steal.

The Broncs are now 15-13 (8-8 in the MAAC).

Kene Anusionwu (6’8, 215lbs, F/C, Senior, London) Bethune Cookman Wildcats
Bad news for Bethune-Cookman Wildcats who were defeated 62-56 by Maryland-Eastern Shore. Even worse news for Brit Kene Anusionwu who registered his second straight DNP.

The Wildcats are now 14-12 (6-6 in the MEAC).

Larry Awosanya (6’7, 210lbs, F, Freshman, London) Campbell Fighting Camels
Campbell’s Fighting Camels secured a 71-64 win over Kennesaw State Owls. Not a good night for Freshman Larry Awosanya who registered a DNP.

Campbell Fighting Camels are now 16-9 (11-5 in the Atlantic Sun).

To Summarise..

Except for Justin Robinson’s all around game, it was overrall not a great night for us Brits last night

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.
