Blowouts Galore, BUCS Recap Week 2

By Sam Neter on November 3, 2011

The BUCS basketball regular season went into it’s second week yesterday and with only one result being closer than 17 points it was a day of one side victories.

In the North, both Durham and Leeds Met Carnegie destroyed the opposition with 30 and 26 point routs respectively, with Worcester only being slightly worse with a 17 point victory over Glasgow.

In the South, newly promoted LSE taking on London Met was the closest game of the day, with LSE getting their first win in the premier division. LSBU had little trouble dispatching of what is a considerably weaker Oxford side than seen in previous years, whilst Brunel kept their perfect record in tact beating Middlesex comfortably, led by 24 points from former England under-18 Louis Sayers. This is Sayers’ first season competing in BUCS, after sitting out last year due to Division 1 commitments with Reading.

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.
