Notes

Lindsay Whorton (previously of Drake University-player profile) had three of the top five performances of the weekend, the girl can score! Much like the men’s team however, Oxford lacked depth which limited their team performances.
Leah Rush (former University of Oklahoma and WNBA player) finished the weekend second in points averaged. Rush ran the point a fair amount too in the competition, distributing to her team as well as controlling the glass for Durham. It would have been good to see her assists numbers on the weekend.
It’s a real shame that BUCS are not prepared to complete full stats for the weekend, hopefully this will change next year (if not I am going to find someone to do it…any early volunteers?)
BUCS Final 8’s was, again, a great weekend of basketball, the level of the women’s competition has improved annually for the last few years. Let’s hope this continues and that BUCS really push the advertising next year, attracting a huge crowd would complete the weekend.

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.
