KIU Rangers v Nabisunsa

SAFINA Nakato contends that the crowds at today’s MTN basketball league match-up between KIU Rangers and Nabisunsa at the former’s courts will be guests to a passionate exhibition the Rangers are determined to win.

To the Rangers’ captain, the disposition element in this fixture arises from the fact that to the KIU team, a second consecutive loss in the space of four days is unacceptable.

The league debutants thumped Nabisunsa 85-53 during their first round encounter in May, a result that coach Nimrod Kaboha hopes to even better in the second round.

Meanwhile, Nabisunsa were on Wednesday rough hosts as they humbled visiting Amazon Rhino 56-38.
