LIVE: London Lions v Rutronik Stars Keltern – EuroCup (4pm)

By Bradley Gains on November 3, 2021

London Lions can take a major step towards qualifying for the playoffs of EuroCup if they can complete a regular season double over Rutronik Stars Keltern.

Mark Clark’s side claimed a dramatic 79-81 triumph in Germany on their regular season debut and the two teams meet again at the Copper Box, on Wednesday afternoon at 4pm.

The Lions currently sit in a three-way tie with Castors Braine and Zabiny Brno and victory over Keltern (0-3) will guarantee a top-three finish in the group. The top two advance, while four of the best six third-placed finishers in the Conference will also go through.

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.
