Mark James Nets the Game-Winning Three for Ipswich in U18 Playoffs First Round!

By Bradley Gains on March 30, 2015

Ipswich Basketball claimed a 68-66 upset win at Haringey Hawks after Mark James’ 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left sent his side into the second round of the under-18 playoffs.

The visitors trailed by one with just over 10 seconds remaining and with possession on their own baseline. Just two passes were needed to find James wide open and he buried the clutch three for the win.

Full report here.

Ipswich will play Newham Youngbloods Sabres in the next round and the game will take place on the weekend of 11-12 April.

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.
