MK Breakers sit just two points being top of the table Team Solent Kestrels \u2013 who are the only team Billy Beddow\u2019s side have been defeated by in their NBL Division 2 Campaign. Derby, meanwhile, sit two points behind Essex Rebels having picked up 16 points from their 10 games.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A win for the Breakers would see them set up a clash against either Reading Rockets or Essex Rebels at the National Basketball Performance Centre at the end of January. Should the Breakers make the Final, it would make two teams in action that weekend as the U16 Girls take on Richmond Knights in their National Cup Final.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Breakers are in good form heading into the encounter with their last defeat coming against Team Solent Kestrels back in October. Since then, the Breakers have won each game they\u2019ve played in and scored over 100 points in eight of their 12 games played.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">There are just 10 tickets remaining MK Breakers fans. We have been allocated 100 tickets for the game and only 10 remain, they can be purchased directly from the club using this link. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal x_elementToProof\">Derby do not sell tickets online, and the game will sell out, so trying to buy on the day will be a risk as the game will likely sell out. Fans can also travel on the team bus. This can be booked using the same link as the tickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MK Breakers face the biggest game of their season this weekend as they travel to Derby Trailblazers in the Semi-Final of the National Cup &#8211; The game will tip off at 5:30pm at the Clarence Wiggins Sports Centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3774,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[18,20,19],"class_list":["post-3771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mens","tag-basketball","tag-mens-first-team","tag-mk-breakers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
