BBL CUP SEMI DRAW

By on November 20, 2018

The two big guns remaining in the BBL Cup have been paired together in the semi-final draw.

London Lions will square off with past winners Newcastle Eagles over two legs in the last four next month in the race to reach Arena Birmingham in January.

The other semi sees Glasgow Rocks meeting Manchester Giants, who now have a great opportunity to reach their first major final since the franchise was reborn.

Dates for the ties have not yet been finalised.

However Gareth Murray reckons Glasgow’s form has turned following consecutive wins for the first time this season in the wake of the poor start to the campaign.

“Before, we weren’t really sure of our identity,” the Great Britain forward said. “We were all over the place. Guys weren’t really remembering our system offensively or defensively. Now it’s about cleaning up the small things.

“I’m hoping two weeks of no games wont kill that momentum from two wins. But there are guys who have niggles and injuries so it gives them a chance to recover.”

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.
