Inside Basketball: Conor Meany with the weekend's Superleague Talking points

Eanna's statement win, Neptune feel Sabata absence, and Meteors continue to surge

LOOKING AT YA: UCC Demons' James Hannigan nailed a long range three-pointer with time expired on the half on Sunday at Mardyke Arena.

1 DBS Eanna with a statement win.

A couple of weeks ago DBS Eanna looked like a team struggling to gel with more questions about them than answers. This weekend they looked like a more dangerous proposition as they put together their best performance of the season in defeating Neptune. The key development is that Darren McGovern is getting more out of Marko Tomic this year than the last time the Serb was in Ireland. Tomic is a smart passer but can also attack one-on-one, so when playing through the former Barry University star with shooters all around him, Eanna are hard to guard. Eanna got contributions from all over the floor on Saturday and did a great job cutting when Tomic had the ball. Neptune’s lack of back-up big man to cover Nil Sabata’s absence was glaring, but Eanna were full value for their 98-83 win.
