The CBL U18 Prime Division Playoff Final is set to showcase the divisions top basketball talent this Sunday as the CONEL Warriors face off against the Brixton Topcats.
CONEL enters the final with a perfect 10-0 record, looking to avenge last season’s narrow championship loss, where they were beaten in the last 30 seconds of the game by Southwark Legends. This season, their defensive prowess has held opponents to just 34% from the field, but their league-leading defence will be put to the test against Brixton’s high-octane offence.
The Topcats, boast a 9-1 record, have been lighting up scoreboards all season. They’ve had the league-leading offence (65% TFG%) and their up-tempo style has overwhelmed opponents all season long.
Key players to watch include CONEL’s Chad Neptune (18 ppg, 7 rpg) and Brixton’s Lebron Roach (19 ppg, 7 rpg). Their head-to-head battle could well determine the outcome of this championship clash.
On the sidelines, former CBL Coach of the Year AJ Roberts leads CONEL, while former European pro-turned head coach, Wayne Henry, orchestrates Brixton’s fast-paced attack. Their tactical decisions, particularly regarding game tempo, will play a crucial role in the final’s outcome.
With both teams featuring strong offences and solid defences, along with the top talent across the division, fans can expect a tightly contested match. The question remains: Will CONEL complete their perfect season, or can Brixton’s explosive offence secure them the title? Tune in this Sunday to find out…
