Hi guys, Im considering to study in the uk(london would be better because of accommodation) but I would also like to continue my career in basketball.
I have no idea about uk basketball progmams.

Thank you for your reply,
Usa is a good option but I don’t know how to apply or get a scholarship for a d1, d2 or even d3 school.
Even if go there as a student and join trials that would be great.But Usa is so big there is so many options I don’t know which one to pick.
Also Uk is the second option so which uni do you think is the best. (Just in case)

Hi there!

Whilst the UK isn't as crazy about sports as other countries, we do have our own leagues, and it does tend to get really competitive here! There is something called BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport). Every year each university is ranked at each sport, and they keep the results on their websites. It's worth having a look at the top universities on the leagues and deciding that way 🙂 Here is the link to past fixtures and results.

Hope that helped - please let me know if you had any other questions :smile:
