Alex Roberts Comes Up Clutch, Hits Insane 3/4 Court Game Winner vs USA Select!

By Sam Neter on September 13, 2016

Check out new Loughborough Student Riders guard Alex Roberts (1997 born) coming up clutch in their pre-season exhibition against USA Select last week.

Down two, the former Myerscough and England Under-18 guard drove to the hoop to finish the layup and tie it up with 5 seconds remaining before USA Select got confused as they launched a game winning attempt early to give the ball back to Loughborough in the dying seconds.

Inbounded by Reis Pinnock, Roberts, a Hoopsfix All Star Classic alumnus, received the ball before taking a couple of dribbles and letting a three quarter court heave go which dropped through the hoop to give Loughborough an 82-79 win.

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.
