Jubrile Belo has been selected to the All-Big Sky Third Team while also collecting the Newcomer of the Year award in his debut season with Montana State University.

The Londoner became just the second Bobcat to ever be voted Newcomer of the Year, as he averaged 13.1 points per game while guiding the Bobcats on the boards with 6.4 per contest. Belo ended the 2019-20 regular season with three consecutive double-double performances.

Belo’s 406 points over 31 games were the most by a newcomer since the freshman season since 2016-17.

Montana State was scheduled to particpate in the Big Sky Conference Championships that were meant to start Thursday night, but have been cancelled because of COVID-19.

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.
