IslandStats.com
Teesside University’s Men’s Basketball team is firmly focused on securing promotion at the halfway mark of the British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) Tier 4 North league season, following an exceptional and unbeaten run of form.
The Teesside team is currently unbeaten in their league campaign, an outstanding achievement that positions them perfectly to challenge for a place in the next tier of BUCS basketball. Securing the top position in their tier would grant them the opportunity for promotion, a major objective for the ambitious university programme.
The squad has seen an influx of talent this year, successfully attracting a number of elite-level players as the programme seeks to rapidly scale up and put Teesside on the map in UK university basketball.
Among the talented players driving the team's success is Anton Harris-Gilbert, who is currently studying animation at the university. Harris-Gilbert has already showcased his abilities this season, notably scoring a team-high 27 points in a strong victory over Northumbria 4s in BUCS action.
The Teesside team is confident in their future growth, with plans in place to develop links and attract players from across the UK and globally. This commitment to growth suggests Teesside intends to be a consistent contender in the BUCS structure for years to come.
