Game Preview: Gimle (Norway)

Manchester Basketball are a win away from qualifying for the next round of the ENBL, the first chance for that is on Wednesday night at 7pm when we play Norwegian leaders Gimle.

Gimle vs Manchester Basketball
Wednesday 21 January - 7pm (UK time) at NBPC, Manchester

Founded in 1972, Gimle are currently top of the table in their domestic competition but have struggled on the European stage this season with the team's only win coming over Keila in a 76-75 home win.

Last week Gimle lost at home to Brussels 65-86 but will be looking to finish with a win in their last European game of the season.

One to watch: Javonte Johnson 6'6" guard who graduated from California Baptist University.
