NBL D1 Recap (21/22 Feb 2026) - results, stats, streams and more

The leading sides in both pools all won this weekend, keeping them on a collision course for the final few weeks of the regular season.

That means there's still a three-way tie at the top of Pool A, and Barnet and Solent are still toe-to-toe in Pool B.

In the list below, a * is for Pool A games, and a + is for Pool B games.

Standout performances

Barnet started the weekend with an 87-43 win over CoLA, which Solent followed up on Sunday as they beat Cobham 76-59.

London Stars' 102-76 W against Greenwich takes the top four a step closer to being confirmed, though Richmond coming out on top 61-58 against London Lions II does keep the Knights in contention for now.

BCU (95-77 vs St Helens), Manchester (82-70 vs Teesside) and Worcester (92-80 vs Oxford) all came through the weekend unscathed, though Myerscough nearly didn't manage the same as they edged Liverpool 78-74.

Sheffield Arrows remain in the mix after their 80-72 victory over rivals Sheffield Sharks II, but the Arrows still need a slip-up from someone in the top four to open the door.

What does it mean for the standings? 

BCU, Worcester and Myerscough remain locked at 15-5, with all three sides having two games left to play.

Manchester sit close behind on 14-5, with 14-6 Sheffield Arrows also in the mix.

Myerscough vs Manchester (28/02) and Myerscough vs BCU (08/03) are both key games before the regular season is over, potentially leaving Worcester to edge ahead if they can beat Leicester and St Helens.

Pool B's title looks to be there for whichever side can win next Saturday's match-up in Barnet between the Bulldogs and Solent. Both teams have been on a collision course for some time now, with a much-anticipated regular-season title-decider now on the cards.

Barking were without a game but look to be locked into third, with London Stars keeping themselves in the top four as they face BA to end their regular season schedule.

2025/26 Playoff Structure

Player-of-the-week candidates 

Sable Cooper (26pts, 4ast) helped keep Barnet on course in Pool B, with Andre Arissol (18pts, 12reb, 8ast, 7stl) doing the same for Solent ahead of next weekend's crunch contest.

Ronald Oberia (30pts, 7reb) helped BCU sweep St Helens aside despite 32 points from Connor Murtagh, Olivier Esingle's (17pts, 9reb, 11ast) near triple-double pushed Myerscough past Liverpool, Earl Burgess (24pts, 7reb) was the standout for Worcester, and the battle between Arrows' Hamza Ibrahim (15pts, 19reb, 5ast) and Sharks' Oscar Baldwin (31pts, 11reb) was a good one in South Yorkshire.

A Macaulay Jones double-double (26pts, 10reb) saw Cardiff past Ashley Kalugin-Ugo's (26pts, 9reb) Leicester, Manchester's Daniel Davies (12pts, 15reb, 9ast) was another nearing triple-double territory this weekend, and Callum Vines pulled down a massive 24 boards to go with 26-points for Richmond.
