HANNAH JUMP IN NCAA TITLE GAME
Former England Under-16 cap Hannah Jump will feature in Sunday’s NCAA title game.
The 20-year-old had a cameo as Stanford University held on to gain a dramatic 66-65 victory in Friday’s Final Four semi-final against over South Carolina in San Antonio.
It was revenge for the Cardinal who lost to the same opponents at the same stage in 2017 when Great Britain guard Karlie Samuelson was among the vanquished.
Jump played two minutes off the bench late in the opening quarter, having contributed 17 points in Stanford’s 89-62 defeat of Missouri in the Sweet Sixteen round.
She, and her team, now will face Arizona who produced a stunning 69-59 upset of UConn.

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.
