Basketball roundup: Boroughmuir Blaze ready to Rock Glasgow in cup
Boroughmuir Blaze, who have a home tie against Glasgow Rocks at the Crags Sports Centre tomorrow (2.20pm), must have a good chance of reaching the semis.
Glasgow University are in the same half of the draw and away to non-league Portlethen Panthers in Aberdeen on Sunday so a last four clash with the students is on the cards for Blaze provided they can overturn their recent Scottish League 83-73 defeat to the Rocks.
