Basketball is a growing sport in the U.K. However for many of you out there phrases like “nothing but net” or “making it rain” will mean nothing more than owning nothing but a net or trying to induce stormy weather. So we at URN hope that this brief overview of one of the world’s most exciting sports will whet your appetite and encourage you to come down to University Park sports centre and cheer on your University of Nottingham basketball men and women on Friday 11th March!

The Men’s and Women’s Varsity Basketball matches took place on Clifton campus, with the home crowd cheering their teams to victory. A collection of AU candidates were present as first the women’s then the men’s team were defeated by Trent who took the lead in the Varsity series, 4-3.

After Netball brought the series within a point now standing at 3-2 Uni all eyes will turn once again to Clifton campus Sports Centre for Varsity Basket 2010, as Trent try to level the series. The URN Sports Team were lucky enough to catch up with the President of the Basketball team, James Tobias.
