UGANDA : KIU blocking Miracle’s survival
By Aloysius Byamukama
KAMPALA
Fixtures (Men)
Riders vs MBC Rocks
UCU vs Bush Courts
Gulu vs Livingstone
Miracle vs KIU
Women
Comets vs Leopards
MAK Cubs vs MAK Sparks
Kampala International University (KIU) takes on Miracle in an MTN Basketball League mid-table clash at YMCA Courts this evening.
The two sides are out of this season's play offs in the men's Yello Max conference, but while KIU will be out for maximum points to finish in a respectable position on the standings, Miracle needs the points to ensure their stay in the top flight. The Lubaga based-side needs one win from two games to ensure their survival.
KIU, which was last season re-instated in the top flight following the local basketball governing body, Fuba's decision to increase the teams to ten, go into the game on the back of a 67-61 first round win.
Relegation candidates Livingstone and Gulu Hawks face off at the Carribean Courts.
In the women's league, it will be a Makerere affair as Sparks take on the Cubs.
