The Eagles have a nine-point deficit to overturn if they are to win the competition though after losing 97-88 in the first leg.

If they win, this will be the second trophy of the campaign after Smith inspired the Eagles to victory over Plymouth in the BBL Cup in January.

The two sides are also close to one another in the league with the Eagles in first place and Plymouth ten points behind in third with two games in hand.

Flournoy’s side have won the BBL Trophy four times, but not since since 2010.

It was the first competition they won after Paul Blake’s takeover in 1996.

The only time Plymouth won the BBL trophy was in 2007 when they beat the Eagles 74-65.
