ESSEX Leopards stand between Worcester Wolves and an appearance at the National Indoor Arena.
Wolves have been drawn at their England Basketball League Division One rivals in the semi-finals of the National Cup on Saturday, November 19.
Josh Cooprider's team earned their last-four place with a superb 87-71 win at Manchester Magic on Sunday and both sides will be delighted to have missed Sheffield Arrows and Reading Rockets, who meet in the other semi-final in South Yorkshire.
Director of basketball Mick Donovan said: "If we could have picked a team of the three, Essex would have been our choice, but they will also be quite pleased with the draw."
