Glover had one of the best nights in recent NBL1 South history, collecting a double-double in the preliminary final for the Wildcats against the Frankston Blues on Saturday night. The sharpshooter slotted10-18 from beyond the arc and as the game ticked down, Glover's experience shone brightest. His final three helping the Wildcats go ahead on the scoreboard, and more important cemented his side a spot in the decider.

The win sees the Wildcats head to their first-ever NBL1 South grand final against Phoenix teammate Luke Rosendale's team, Ballarat.
