BUCS Premier Results Week 2

By Sam Neter on October 29, 2010

Week 2 of BUCS basketball Premier league action was not short of drama and controversy.

In the North, defending champs Leeds Met suffered their second straight loss, this time to Durham who avenged their first round knockout from the Final 8’s last year at the hand of Leeds (full game recap here). Last week’s surprise Edinburgh went down to Loughborough who saw a spectacular shooting display from Dave Holland. Holland cemented himself as one of the best shooters in BUCS last year and looks to retain that unofficial title as he went off for 27 first half points-banging 8 three’s! He finished the game with 10 three’s for 35 points in total.

In the South, Oxford continued to make a statement putting a 44 point drubbing on London Met, whilst LSBU welcomed Kingston to the Premier league with a 37 point rout. The Midlesex-Brunel game was marred by a number of controversial calls, none moreso than a technical on Brunel (their 6th of the game!) with 17 seconds remaining as they were down by three, effectively sealing the game for Midlesex.

Full results are as follows:

Premier North Results

Loughborough beat Edinburgh 88-79
Northumbria beat Worcester 90-78
Durham beat Leeds Met 79-78

Premier South Results

Oxford beat London Met 99-55
Middlesex beat Brunel 73-66

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.
