Where and when:
Surrey Sports Park, 3.30pm Sunday 8 November
Summary:
Surrey Scorchers host Bristol Flyers on Sunday in a repeat of their opening night thriller.
Late-game heroics helped Scorchers over the line in that one, but Flyers will be motivated to level the season series given that they entered the final stages of that contest in control.
Scorchers have won two of their five games since then and will be aiming for back-to-back wins for the first time this season while Flyers seek to extend a good run, which sees them enter the weekend with three wins in the last four prior to Friday’s game against Glasgow Rocks.
Last time they met:
Bristol Flyers 68 Surrey Scorchers 71 (BBL Championship, WISE Basketball Arena, 19 September 2015)
Form:
Scorchers: WLWLLW
Flyers: LLWLWW
Three Points:
• Tayo Ogedengbe had a 19-point, 12-rebound double-double when these teams met in their opening game of the season
• Flyers (60.58%) and Scorchers (61.06%) are the league’s bottom two teams in terms of free-throw shooting
• Flyers have won three of the five BBL meetings between these clubs
What they say:
Flyers coach Andreas Kapoulas: “It was a tough way for us to open the season with a loss at home [against Surrey] especially as we went into the final period with a good lead.
“They have good depth and a number of offensive weapons to go to. We will need to be very consistent in our performance on both ends of the court and not just for the Sunday game. We need to produce two of our best team performances so far this season to secure two very valuable wins this coming weekend.”
