London and Sheffield complete the clean sweep with play-off victories at The O2. The Artist Formerly Known As The Last Man To Sweep (aka @shieldsbrief.bsky.social) and I look back at the action, and, obviously, a meander off into everything else British basketball linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Down to two, London and Cheshire book their place in the end of season showdown at The O2 next. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at the semi-finals and forward to the final in this week's SNB linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

And then there were four. Leicester were the only side to upset the seedings as the top three all progressed. Darius Defoe waved goodbye to the Eagles fans. But was their anything to lighten Dave's mood? Find out in this week's SNB linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

The league campaign came to an end, with Cheshire securing second and Leicester claiming fifth. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at the action, with a few massive diversions that you only get on SNB 😂 linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Oh dear, @shieldsbrief.bsky.social is in a grumpy mood and even a couple of historic stats struggle to break him out of it, but there were a couple of performance that briefly pleased him in this week's SNB linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

The race for seedings heated up as 2nd/3rd are level and all the play-off bound teams who played won. For Caledonia though, the end was confirmed. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

London won the league title for the fourth year in a row and there was a whole load of other talking points in SLB. But my favourite bit is definitely the gotcha of @shieldsbrief.bsky.social at the beginning - an all-timer SNB moment IMHO 😂😂 linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

If London do stay in 1st, Tigers will be 2nd lowest and 2nd highest. They averaged 27.8 in 08/09 (Andre Smith season), second only to Sheffield's 28.4 (Mike Cook first season)

So I looked up stat I've been meaning to that I referred to in SNB to @shieldsbrief.bsky.social. London's average top score this season is 16.4 points. That is on pace to be the lowest in livestats era. The current season low is 16.6 by Mersey Tigers in 2012/13, they didn't win a game that season

London on the brink of the league title now, but Cheshire and Manchester keep winning to push it a little further away. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the SLB action in this week's Sunday Night Breakdown linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Bonkers ending for OT ✅ Even more bonkers ending for 2OT ✅ Fascinating battle for 🏆✅ Epic @shieldsbrief.bsky.social rant? ✅✅✅ linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

London edge closer to the title, Caledonia get a win on the board, whilst both Cheshire and Manchester keep pushing for second. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action in this week's SNB linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

What a week for Manchester and Newcastle with two wins, but nobody had a more dramatic victory than Leicester with their wild finish in Surrey. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the SLB action linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

A double winning weekend for London and Cheshire as the top two enhance their spots with some stunning shooting numbers, @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action in this week's Sunday Night Breakdown linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Cup semi-finals took centre stage this week and London and Manchester booked their tickets for the final next month. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I looked back at the action and a little PS on the GB situation linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Chatting to @shieldsbrief.bsky.social on SNB, we both felt Tyrin Lawrence scored the bulk of his points in 4Q, which got me wondering who scores the largest percentage of their points in a single quarter?

What a weekend of SLB action, two game winning threes, four games decided by a total of six points and a historic day on Sunday. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action in this week's Sunday Night Breakdown linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

London claimed the first trophy of the season, whilst Sheffield took the Betty Codona title. Dave and I look back at the finals, as well as the league action from Friday night in this week's Sunday Night Breakdown linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Cup action this weekend, Surrey with an epic comeback and Cheshire saw off a late fightback to book their places in the semis, whilst London and Manchester had comfortable passage. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action in this week's SNB linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

A split weekend for Bristol and Surrey, whilst Sheffield and Newcastle dropped two. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all this week's action in the SLB in the latest episode of Sunday Night Breakdown linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

"Don't know the last time a team has made 13 more threes than the opposition and still managed to lose" @shieldsbrief.bsky.social 24 October 2015 Surrey (0/10) 91-85 Plymouth (15/35). The only time it has happened in the livestats era before tonight

Surrey are flying, another two wins home and away whilst London continue to dominate at the top. Behind them every keeps taking wins off each other, @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at this weekend's action in the SLB linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

London and Newcastle reach the first final of the season with their trophy successes, plus there was plenty of championship action as the festive period came to an end. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all of the games from the last week linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Surrey and Caledonia get back to winning ways with big road wins. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action and remember the legend Russ Saunders in this week's Sunday Night Breakdown linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Great week for Manchester with three wins, some great stats as @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back on all the action this week... and I've had to go off on one again, I'm afraid. All in this week's SNB linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

I appreciate that someone took the time to complete this!

Knockouts took centre stage this week, Newcastle claimed their spot and Sheffield looked set for the final four, but it's London and Bristol who complete the quartet. Whilst Surrey had a massive victory in the Cup. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back over it all linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Ok people have asked about the Trophy groups, so I made a spreadsheet you can see for yourselves, someone just put the scores in as they happen and it will update the tables/2nd place 1drv.ms/x/c/01014417...

Plenty to get through this week, with the obvious diversions from the games into everything else, Dave and I recap everything going in a bumper Sunday Night Breakdown linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

London's unbeaten start to the season came to an end as they went down to Bristol, but the Flyers were then undone by a barrage of threes in Cheshire. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action in the SLB this week linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Two wins for Sheffield and London remain unbeaten at the top of the standings. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action, plus the demise of the BBF linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

I thought this segment of the Sunday Night Breakdown was too important not to share. I fully support the idea that @danroutledge.bsky.social & @shieldsbrief.bsky.social are talking about. What say you?

Perfect weekend for Cheshire as they become the first team to punch their Trophy semi-final ticket. Bristol also won their opener, whilst Sheffield claimed a league success. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at the action and the latest from the BBF saga linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

A weekend of splits for most teams, but London still unbeaten. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action in SLB and ask the key question from the weekend....what's the appropriate punishment for causing a DIV/0! error? 🤔 Spoiler: it needs to be severe linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

So we've implemented a new feature this week, an homage to the old call lines, where you have to listen to it in order and can't just skip to the game at the end. Just dial 0898 SNB.... linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Another turbulent week in the issue of Governance of British Basketball as the FIBA Taskforce announces it's findings regarding BBF. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at that and also find some time for the actual games on the court linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Another weekend of only three games, but midway through the pod big news broke in British basketball. So as well as looking back at the action, @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I managed to speculate upon and then react to the resignation of the BBF Chair linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Just the three games to get through this week, so what do we think? 20 mins, half an hour? 🤔 @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I rattle through the games, sorta... linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

London maintained their unbeaten start, whilst Surrey got things going with a win in their season opener. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the SLB action in this week's Sunday Night Breakdown youtu.be/FWgPQ4jIFfM

Since 2008 only five players have averaged 20+ points whilst shooting 70%+ in the first two games of their British basketball career: Justin Brown - 2008 Andre Smith - 2008 Joseph Harris - 2010 Jack Isenbarger - 2017 Joel Scott - 2025

Two grumpy old men waffling on* about stats and defensive breakdowns? It'll never make it to season six, surely? Yes. Apparently. *May only include 64% waffling on about games youtu.be/n1J5JF1M0Xw

With 7 different teams winning in @sprleaguebballm.bsky.social & @sprleaguebballw.bsky.social, this season had the most winners in top flight history. 87.5% (7/8) is the largest % of winners per comp since 1974/75 when Islington (Lge), Embassy (CupM), Cleveland (CupW) won the 3 comps played that yr

And we're done. Leicester dominated the Play-off Final at The O2 to make it four different winners in SLB, whilst Sheffield were winners again. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at the Finals, whilst also looking forward to the future for British basketball linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

What a weekend of drama in the SLB Play-off semi-finals as Leicester & Newcastle make it through to The O2. Newcastle won both their legs against London, whilst Leicester came from 20 down to win after OT. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back over all of the action linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

And then there were four. London and Leicester won both legs to progress to the semi-finals, whilst Sheffield came from behind and Newcastle hung on to a first leg lead to punch their tickets. Dan and Dave look back at the play-off quarter-finals. linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

So, was this @sprleaguebballm.bsky.social season the most competitively balanced in top flight British basketball history? A 🧵👇 TL;DR probably

The Lions took the title for the third season in a row with a comfortable win over their last remaining challengers Leicester on Wednesday. But after that, there was still some drama in the fight for PO seedings for @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I to go through linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Since start of 2013/14, Surrey teams are 3-15 in overtime games

From niche to nerd....especially for @shieldsbrief.bsky.social gaming out the season where Newcastle finish 7th. Sur bt Man by 1. Lei by New by 1. Che bt Bri by 1. Sur bt Man by 1. Sur bt Bri by 1. Che bt New by 3 equals...

London ended Sheffield's title hopes, whilst Leicester hung on with two late dramatic wins at home. Two Newcastle wins and two Manchester defeats has reignited the battle for 4th, whilst Caledonia's hopes came to an end. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at it all linktr.ee/sundaynightb...
