Jonny Broodie Hits 3 at the Buzzer for Arrows to Beat Ipswich!

By Sam Neter on October 20, 2016

Aside from Stefan Gill’s heroics this weekend in NBL Division 1 action, there was also drama in Division 2 as Derbyshire Arrows got a buzzer beating win over Ipswich, courtesy of Johnny Broodie.

It was real hearbreak for Ipswich, after Luke Mascall-Wright had scored 8 straight to put them up 77-75 in the final moments. Tom Sadler, an 85% free throw shooter, missed two free throws with 4 seconds left that would have sealed the game, setting up Broodie’s heroics.

Derbyshire’s Broodie corralled the rebound and dribbled the length of the court, appearing to potentially get away with three steps (?!), before firing a running three pointer up that banked in at the buzzer to give the Arrows a 77-78 win.

The Arrows remain unbeaten in the league with a 2 – 0 record having edged out Doncaster Danum Eagles in their opening game of the season.

Joseph Baugh had 21 to lead Arrows, with Broodie finishing with 9.

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.
