Bryan-Amaning Through to Sweet 16, NCAA Recap 20/03/10
Bryan-Amaning has become a force for the Huskies
As we get deeper into the postseason, very few Brits are left standing. Read on to see how the two who played last night fared…
Matthew Bryan-Amaning (6′9, 240lbs, F, Junior, London) Washington Huskies
If you, like the rest of the British basketball community were glued to March Madness on Demand last night, you would have seen Matthew Bryan-Amaning put in an excellent performance to help his Washington Huskies advance to the Sweet 16 with an 82-64 rout of New Mexico.
It was the Huskies 9th straight win, including the Pac-10 tournament and wins over two higher-seeded opponents at the Shark Tank.
Bryan-Amaning had 15 points (7/10 field goals including a couple of big one handed dunks, and 1/4 at the line), 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks in 26 minutes of playing time. In the Huskies 9 game win streak, MBA is averaging 12.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks while shooting 63% from the floor (50 for 80).
Washington advanced to next week’s regional semifinal in Syracuse, N.Y., against the winner of second-seeded West Virginia’s meeting with Missouri on Sunday. The Huskies are in the round of 16 for the third time since 2005.
If you missed the game, it is still available to view at March Madness on Demand.
Ovie Soko (6′8, 225lbs, F, Freshman, London) UAB Blazers
UAB never trailed for the second consecutive NIT game in beating North Carolina State 72-52 on Saturday.Ovie Soko was dressed but did not play due to a hamstring injury.
No. 2 seed UAB (25-8), which tied the school record for wins in a season, will host fourth-seeded North Carolina on Tuesday in the tournament quarterfinals, fingers crossed Soko is ready to go by then!
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.
