Former Great Britain Under-20 Adam Thoseby went off for a career-high 34 points while helping his Georgia Southwestern side upset No. 18 Columbus State, 109-104, in NCAA Division II on Thursday night.

Thoseby went 11 of 18 from the floor, 9 of 10 at the line and added 5 rebounds and 4 assists, hitting three 3-pointers to contribute to a school record 17 3-pointers to pull off the upset.

Thoseby was part of the GB U20 squad in 2011, averaging 8.9 points per game at the Euros for the squad that included Devon van Oostrum and Ryan Richards. He also represent the England Under-18s and Under-16s at the 2009 and 2007 Europeans, respectively.

The former Reading Rocket originally signed with NCAA Division 1 Utah State out of England, before transferring and finishing his undergraduate career with University of South Dakota. Thoseby joined GSW this season as a post-graduate student.

The Hurricanes improved their record to 6-6 overall and 2-3 in conference play while Columbus State fell to 10-2, 4-1 in the PBC. The Hurricanes have won three straight road games in the series with the Cougars.

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.
