4/5 DNP’s-Tough Night for Brits in the NCAA, Recap 10/03/10

By Sam Neter on March 11, 2010

A terrible night for Brits playing NCAA Division 1 College basketball as they played 4 minutes between 5 of them…

Ben Daniels (6′6, 190lbs, G, Freshman, Manchester) Houston Baptist Huskies
Ben Daniels’ teammate Wendell Preadom scored 22 points and hit the go-ahead basket to lead Houston Baptist to an 80-77 victory over Chicago State in the first round of the Great West Conference tournament Wednesday. Not such as good news for Ben Daniels though as he registered a DNP.

The Huskies are 11-20 (9-3 Indep.).

Hugh Barnett (6′9, 265lbs, F/C, Senior, London) Arkansas Pine-Bluff Golden Lions
Arkansas-Pine Bluff overcame poor free throw shooting down the stretch to beat Mississippi Valley State 69-66 on Wednesday in the first round of the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament. Unfortunately our Brit Hugh Barnett did not get off the bench.

The second-seeded Golden Lions (15-15, 14-4 SWAC) advance to Friday’s semifinals to face the winner of Alabama State-Alabama A&M.

Kene Anusionwu (6′8, 215lbs, F/C, London) Bethune-Cookman Wildcats
Delaware held off a second-half rally to beat Bethune-Cookman 57-55 in the quarterfinals of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament on Wednesday night. Kene Anusionwu registered another DNP in what has been a tough Senior season for him.

The Wildcats finished up 17-16 (7-9 MEAC).

Myles Luttman (6′11, 230lbs, C, Junior, Birmingham) Southern Methodist Mustangs.
UCF Knights defeated Southern Methodist 69-53 in the first round of the Conference USA tournament Wednesday night. Myles Luttman, who was the only Brit to get off the bench last night, finished with 4 minutes, grabbing 1 rebound to complete his line in the loss.

The Mustangs are 14-17 (7-9 C-USA).

Raheem May-Thompson (6′6, 200lbs, Freshman, F, London) Quinnipiac Bobcats
In a heartbreaking loss for May-Thompson’s Bobcats, Dallas Green deflected a potential game-winning shot then sank two free throws with 7 seconds left as Robert Morris beat Quinnipiac 52-50 for the Northeast Conference championship, the Colonials seventh title and second straight. Raheem was another who registered a DNP.

The Bobcats finished up 23-9 (15-3 NEC).

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.
