    Weekend Round-Up: 10/10

    This week: In Spain, we saw the rare game that was so one-sided that we felt compelled to talk about it. In Germany, two double-digit differences went some way towards clarifying the tiers within the league. In Italy, a rock-fight in the Adriatic Derby was balanced out by a combined 170 points being dropped in a matchup that is a serious contender for the title of The Bench Units Derby.

    Weekend Round-Up: I Don't Understand The Question and I Won't Respond To It

    This weekend we saw an all-time hot-shooting performance as Murcia handled Bilbao, a gritty scrap as Reggio Calabria completed the comeback win over Giulianova and the ultra-rare underdog blow-out as Porto Torres dismantled Cantù. It all begs the question; what do you do when your opponent can't seem to miss? Available now, wherever you get your podcasts! Get full access to Bench Units at benchunits.substack.com/subscribe

    Weekend Round-Up: 4 Games, 3 Leagues

    Sometimes you can circle the games that will deliver on their promise. Then sometimes you get a couple more great games thrown in unexpectedly. Never ones to complain about more content-worthy basketball, we break down 4 games from the past weekend. We dive into our first Italian game of the season (Reggio Calabria vs Sassari), catch an offensive showcase (Münsterland vs Trier) before we revisit everyone's second-favourite German rivalry (Hannover vs Wiesbaden), and wrap up with a back-and-forth battle Spanish battle (Albacete vs Gran Canaria). That taken care of, we sift through many deserving candidates to give our the first Bench Units Belt of the season! Available now, wherever you get your podcasts.

    Weekend Round Up: Lots Of Harmless Rambling

    Ah, basketball games. They take over our weekends and then we spend all week thinking about them. With the season officially underway, we drill down on what we've deemed to be the two most interesting games so far; Lahn-Dill vs Hannover & Amiab vs Bidaideak. We then touch on scores and points of interest from other games around Europe and highlight some games that we're looking forward to this weekend! Available now, wherever you get your podcasts.

    The Countdown Is On

    Well, this has come around fast. Guess that's what happens when you take 4 months off. A lot of player movement has taken place over the summer, and a lot of teams look a lot different as a result. We discuss some teams, at varying levels of competitiveness whose outlook for the new season has us intrigued, excited or confused about their immediate future to the point where we won't miss a chance to watch them.

    We're Back: Paralympic Review

    Well, looks like we overslept. Fortunately, one thing almost guaranteed to bring us out of our months-long hibernation is the handing out of Paralympic medals and our inability to fight the sense that people want to hear what we might have to say about it. And so we present our mega return episode. It covers everything important that happened in both the men's and women's wheelchair basketball at Paris 2024, and lasts almost as long as the tournament itself.

    Champions Cup Review: Three-peat

    4 teams. 4 games. 3-peat. This past weekend, we saw European club basketball’s four established powerhouses go at it again. As with the two previous Final Four stages, Amiab Albacete came away with the biggest prize on the continent. We dive into the key moments that saw a worthy challenger emerge and momentarily threaten to take the crown, and what the keys were that were able to once again elevate Amiab above the competition.
