Strength vs strength

Two of D1M's top five offences go head-to-head this weekend as BCU travel to Sheffield Arrows.

The Arrows' 82.4PPG is powered by a league-leading 31.3PPG from standout Hamza Ibrahim, who currently sits a whopping 7.8PPG ahead of his nearest challenge, Birmingham's Sam Toluwase (23.5PPG).

Ibrahim vs Toluwase will be great viewing, but both teams have a strong supporting cast to offer further entertainment. Arrows' Diogo Soares has already captured weekly D1M honours this season, and BCU's Reiss Faure-Daley is the reigning D1M Player of the Week after a 19-point 12-assist, 11-steal triple-double outing against Leicester.

A loss for either team will be of interest to 9-3 Worcester as they face a tricky trip to Sheffield Sharks II, plus 7-4 Myerscough, who host Cardiff Met Archers.

Solent prepare to bounce back

Solent slipped to a surprise 78-71 road loss to CoLA last week, dashing their hopes of moving into a tie for first place in Pool B.

The Kestrels can make amends for that blip this weekend as they host a Greenwich side that they beat 91-61 to start their season in late September.

To prevent a Solent double, Titans' Joshua Palmer (feature image) will need to reproduce the kind of form that saw him record an 11-point, 17-rebound, seven-assist stat line in last Sunday win against Cobham.

The only other Pool B action can be found in the Capital as 0-8 London Elite go searching for their first win of the season against top four challengers London Stars.
