Sheffield Saints host USA Select

The City of Sheffield Saints basketball team faced a tough pre-season challenge on Thursday 11th September when a USA Select Team were their visitors.

The USA Select teams have been coming to Europe for many years, most of the players are out of the American college system, and some have been recruited by EB and BBL teams. 

 An exciting game finished 100-59 in favour of the visitors who were ahead throughout the game which was played in a high tempo end-to-end contest.
