I don't really follow the basketball but it's always nice to see Leicester's teams doing well whatever sport that may be in..

I bet its a near a record. Worcester seem poor, they did come from the EBL last season. Leopards the week before are a EBL side and done better.

I still haven't been to a game this season but I'm going to try to get to the Newcastle game this Saturday.

I read that Basketball got a 1.5million deal for coverage of Basketball on MKTV on Sky over 10 yrs. I thought it was a poor deal, the channel is not even heard of.

Today, I watch SSN and they reveal SKY are set to show Netball once a week and 6 England internationals.

Fecking Netball getting better coverage!!
