Montana State Brit duo Jubrile Belo and Great Osobor have both been recognised in the Big Sky Conference’s end of year awards.

Jubrile Belo is named to the conference All-Second Team, wrapping up his career as one of the best big men in MSU history, averaging 12.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this season.

During his Montana State career, Belo ranks sixth in points (1,560), fifth in rebounds (749), plus second in free throws made (507) and free throw attempts (691), breaking MSU’s career blocks record this season with 160 and counting.

Additionally, he is one of five active Division I players with over 1,500 career points, 700 rebounds and 150 blocks, as he earned all-conference honours for the fourth time in his highly decorated career.

Great Osobor has been named the Big Sky’s Top Reserve.

The sophomore from Bradford, England is MSU’s third-leading scorer at 9.7 points per game and the second-leading rebounder at 4.4 boards per game — all while averaging just 18.4 minutes per game.

The 2021 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic MVP has broken his career high with 23 points and tied his career-best with 12 rebounds this season, plus he recorded the first three double-doubles of his collegiate career this season.

Next up for the Bobcats – who also feature Brit Caleb Fuller – are the quarterfinals of the Big Sky Conference Tournament, held at the Idaho Central Arena starting Sunday, March 5 at 8 p.m. MT. The 2-seed Bobcats will play the winner of the 7-seed Portland State and 8-seed Northern Colorado.

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.
