UGANDA : KIU to Test Power's Resolve
By Aloysius Byamukama
Isaac Afidra will be key as Kampala International University takes on Sadolin Power in a do or die MTN Basketball League tie at Lugogo Indoor Stadium this evening.
The shooting forward returns against his former side. KIU failed to break Falcons' unbeaten run a fortnight ago as they gave away a two points lead to lose 73-65 in overtime. This ruled them out of the play-offs for the second season running.
However, Emma Baguma, Henry Mwinuka and Jeff Mwinuki will make a combined effort to challenge the title hopefuls. Sadolin Power needs a win if they are to keep up their quest to reach the last four.
The 2000 league champions are enjoying a comfortable third slot on the ten-team table after collecting 23 points from 13 games. A win today will see them equal Warriors' 25 points from 14 games.
In the Yello Go conference, off form Blue Jackets take on improved Makerere Youth Heaters while Kampala International University Rangers host Kyambogo Comets in Kansanga in the only women's game on schedule.
Fixtures ( men)
Blue Jackets vs Mak Youth
Power vs KIU
Women
KIU Rangers vs KYU Comets
