Newcastle Eagles will have to get past Surrey Heat or Plymouth Raiders to earn a spot in this seasonâ€

The holders were given the incentive of a home tie in the last four should they progress but will have a tough next step in their half of the draw.
Glasgow Rocks will have to get past Leicester Riders or London Lions for a spot in the showpiece, if they survive their trip to Sheffield Sharks in the next round.
The Emirates Arena outfit were given the incentive of a home tie in the last four should they progress,
“Itâ€
s a good draw for us and Sheffield because weâ€
re both still trying to find our way this season†said Rocks coach Sterling Davis.
“We always seem to meet Newcastle so itâ€
s great to have something different. But getting past Sheffield wonâ€
t be easy, especially at their place.â€
The Cup final takes place in Birmingham on January 13.
Meanwhile, the path to the last four of the BBL Trophy has also been decided, with a possible non-BBL tie between Reading and Leopards if both teams pull off upsets.
