UCD Marian rebounded from defeat against Belfast Star last weekend to put in one of the most complete team performances of the season in their 114-100 win over Killester in Clontarf. Lovre Tvrdic, Jonathan Jean, Eoin Nelson and Tanner Graham all reached 20-points as the Southsiders tightened their grip on fifth place in the table.

"It was an extremely enjoyable game to watch," said head coach Ioannias Liapakis afterwards. "Very high pace, very physical with a lot of ball movement. The game was divided in two parts, the first quarter which Killester was playing better and controlled the game and the rest of the three quarters which we dominated. For 30 minutes we touched perfection offensively, having 4 players with more than 21 points each. We’re delighted with the result and extremely proud of our performance."
