Hoops

Like most sports basketball can be played at different levels. This weekend saw the NCAA College season reached its climax with the Final4 in Houston Texas. The chance to watch the game at its most competitive with some of the most fervant supporters is one of the main reason why I subscribe to US sports channel ESPN. Meanwhile closer to home my London Leopardsalso reached the Final4 of the English Basketball League. The last few years have not been easy years for the Leopards. The early years as a professional BBL team came to an abrupt end and those of us who decided to carry on with had to cope with issues surrounding home court, declining attendances and economics. So this season has been a real boost, second in the league and a real chance to get some silverware in Manchester on the 16/17th April. Finally London Olympics tickets have been available for a couple of weeks, it really is a "once in a lifetime" chance, so applications for basketball and athletics tickets have been sent.
