Coach Nimrod Kaboha leads his KIU team against champions DMark Power in the best-of-five series starting with Game One at YMCA tonight.

“I know it’s not going to be easy but I have asked my players to give it 100% of teamwork,” Koboha said after his boys dispatched Ndejje University Angels 80-64 on Wednesday to complete the second round unbeaten.

KIU is the only team to have beaten Power in the regular season. However, Power technical director Peter Mubanda, is giving KIU no chance in the series. “If the boys come right, I am sure we can record a clean sweep,” Mubanda said. “I can’t say KIU beat us in regular season.

We just gave away the game cheaply. We never took them serious,” Mubanda noted. anda.
In the women’s game, KCC Leopards will face KIU Rangers in the early game.
