‘Sheffield are one of two potential BBL Cup semi-final opponents for the Scorchers…’
Surrey are looking forward to their BBL Cup semi-final date in December and being one of the last four teams left in the competition has given them a real boost this season. They’ll be hoping to transfer their cup progress into league form as the bid to make the play-offs becomes even more intense. Sheffield are one of two potential BBL Cup opponents for the Scorchers (the other being Glasgow Rocks), and both teams will see this as a good opportunity to scout out their possible semi-final opposition.
The two teams have already met in the league this season, with the Scorchers coming out 81-76 winners and while Sheffield will be out for revenge, they know it won’t be easy. The Sharks have made a solid start to their league campaign winning four and losing five, leaving them firmly midtable, the Scorchers, on the other hand, will be looking for a victory to keep them in the hunt for the play-offs.
