Southside Elite will be looking to reclaim the top spot in the EIG Elite Basketball League when they resume their campaign against Spartans TT at the Maloney Indoor Facility, tonight.
Southside, who have played one game less than leaders Caledonia Clippers, are second on 19 points with a 9-1 record, just one point behind the Clippers– on 20 points from 11 matches.
A victory over the Spartans would lift Southside to the top of the standings, putting pressure on the Clippers ahead of their meeting with Morvant Oilbirds tomorrow at the Eastern Regional Indoor Facility in Tacarigua.
Southside will be boosted by the return of captain Tyrik Singh, who was away with Jason Friday on national duty with Trinidad and Tobago at last week’s FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup.
Their return will strengthen a Southside outfit that has emerged as one of the leading contenders for the title, having lost just once in 10 matches.
