1992–93 British Basketball League season
Sports season
The 1992–93 BBL season was the sixth season of the British Basketball League (known as the Carlsberg League for sponsorship reasons) since its establishment in 1987. The first division featuring a total of 12 teams, playing 33 games each increased in number by one following the admittance of the Oldham Celtics. The Kingston Kings moved from the Tolworth Leisure Centre to new home in Guildford at the Spectrum Arena and became the Guildford Kings.[1]
Worthing Bears were the dominant force in the regular season and sustained their momentum in the post-season Play-off, claiming silverware in both competitions.[2] Their closest rivals were Thames Valley Tigers , who had to settle for second place but were able to enjoy some glory by lifting the League Trophy following a win in the final over the Guildford Kings .
