With the first piece of this season’s BBL silverware having been handed out last Sunday, the spotlight is now firmly on the 2017 BBL Trophy as the competition enters the Quarter-Finals stage.
The first Quarter-Finals clash will take place this weekend as Levett Essex Leopards are rewarded for their giant-killing exploits in the first phase against Manchester Giants with a last eight tie against Plymouth Raiders. The game takes place at Brentwood on Sunday in a 4pm tip-off.
The other three Quarter-Final match-ups between BBL clubs will be available to view on livebasketball.tv along with all BBL Championship games, FIBA Champions League and much more via a free month’s trial which is still available.
Cheshire were no strangers to success under Robbie Peers in the past and Phoenix are welcoming back their new play-caller who will be holding the reins at Cheshire Oaks Arena on Sunday 29 January at 5.30pm against the resurgent Bristol Flyers.
Surrey Scorchers enjoyed an exhilarating last-gasp derby success last weekend at London Lions to reach the last eight of the competition and they will be eyeing up a Semi-Final spot when they host Worcester Wolves on Sunday 05 February at 4.00pm.
The last Quarter-Final tie will see one of the favourites for the tournament eliminated when current holders Leicester Riders host recently crowned 2017 BBL Cup winners Esh Group Eagles Newcastle, in a mouth-watering contest on Wednesday 08 February at 7.45pm.
