Hey,

Another full on week. The Hoopsfix Foundation discord is growing by the day and fast approaching 150 members, meanwhile, we have consolidated both the men's and women's sites so everything sits on Hoopsfix.com and plans for the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic 2022 are well underway!

This week's 3-pointer:

🌇 NCAA Division 1 tournament coming to the O2

The Basketball Hall of Fame London Showcase, which has been postponed since 2020 because of COVID-19, is back on the calendar - schedule for the O2 arena on December 4. Tickets go on sale tomorrow via AXS.com or the o2 box Office - intrigued to see how this does - do you think it will sell out?

🇬🇧 Four Nations Youth tournaments announced

Having been starved of junior national team action for a couple of years, glad to see these happening. Hoopsfix All-Star Classic selections are going to be TOUGH this year - partly because of the lack of elite basketball action for so long, so will be ensuring I at least get to the U18s to see the best against the best.

💍 Success in college

As the college season starts coming to an end, a number of players are winning titles and being recognised. Tosan Evbuomwan hit a game winner to clinch the Ivy League title and is a strong contender for Player of the Year, Kayne Henry won a conference regular season title on Senior night, while Alex Distras and Veron Eze have also won a regular season title (also makes me very happy they have all played in the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic). Meanwhile, Gabby Nikitinaite has earned All-First team honours in the OVC, and Maya Price has picked up SSC Player of the Year!

That wraps up another week, as always, hit reply with any thoughts, questions or anything else!

With gratitude,

Sam
