LSBU Move to 9-0, Despite Brunel Challenge
LSBU were given a much greater than expected challenge yesterday by the shorthanded Brunel, yet managed to slip away for a 76-63 victory in the only BUCS Premier South action of the day.
LSBU, who were 8-0 going into the game, played without front court member Armand Anebo, whilst Brunel lost leading scorer Matt Carpenter on Tuesday night at practice to a broken arm. In what was expected to be an easy win for LSBU, they were shocked as Brunel led by two points going into the fourth. It was their they accelerated away for the final scoreline, a 13 point victory.
Karolis Petkus and Damoy Robertson led Southbank with 17 points a piece, whilst Dave Ajumobi added 14. LSBU now stand at 9-0 and continue their quest for an undefeated season. Tomas Politi had 17 for Brunel.
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.
