Oxford Steal BUCS Premier South Title
Oxford University sealed the BUCS Premier South regular season title yesterday, beating previously undefeated LSBU 91-80. Needing to win by 3 points or more to officially be named winners after losing their previous matchup with LSBU by two points, 82-80, Oxford got the 11 point victory, giving them an equal 9-1 record with LSBU, but more importantly the tiebreak advantage.
Elsewhere, Brunel beat Kingston 91-46 to seal 3rd place behind 21 points from Eni Araba-Jacobs and 17 from Tomas Politi, Bode Adeluola had 18 to lead Kingston. Kingston finish bottom of the league and face demotion after just one season in the Premier South.
Middlesex beat London Met 67-45 (score TBC), taking a fourth place finish, with a 4-6 record.
On Monday, in the two rescheduled fixtures that were missed earlier in the season, Brunel beat London Met 63-59, behind an impressive performance from Tomas Politi who finished with 26, whilst Kingston didn’t travel to Oxford, awarding Oxford the walkover.

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.
