Montana State University to play Hoopsfix Elite, BA Lions double-header in London

Montana State University embark on their European tour this week, landing in London to take on a Barking Abbey London Lions select squad on Sunday and Hoopsfix Elite on Monday evening.

MSU, who are fresh off a conference title and NCAA tournament appearance, include a trio of Brits in Jubrile Belo, Great Osobor, and Caleb Fuller. Belo won Big Sky Conference MVP and Defensive Player of the Year last season.

The 6’8″ Osobor heads into his Sophomore year, while Fuller joins the Bobcats as a transfer after four years at UC Davis. Meanwhile, they also feature assistant coach Chris Haslam, a former GB international.

BA London Lions will be putting together a select squad in similar fashion to the team that played Wake Forest on Thursday night, but includes the addition of Amin Adamu – who has just graduated from Montana State, along with Shaquille Walters, who is heading into his rookie year after finishing at Northeastern.

Hoopsfix Elite will be opening their training camp on Monday shortly before the game, as they open preparations for their game against California Basketball Club on Thursday at the Copper Box (8pm on ESPNU – tickets still available here). The Hoopsfix Elite squad may be supplemented with a couple of professionals.

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.
