Basketball in Africa

It’s no secret that the KIU Titans are frustrated with not making an impact in the league despite having good rosters over the years.
With City Oilers looking to be dominant for the next years following back-to-back championships, teams in the National Basketball League are more primed than ever to make deals to improve their squads to compete with Oilers who seem un-matchable.
The KIU Titans have made a real motion towards that front. After signing up Power Forward, Geoffrey Soro earlier in the month, the university side have acquired veteran winger, Norman Blick from TigerHead Power.
“It is a done deal. He (Norman Blick) has officially joined KIU Titans” KIU’s manager, Nasar Serunjojji confirmed to Kawowo Sports. “He has been officially released by Power to join KIU Titans” Serunjojji added.
KIU will be Norman’s sixth team in the local league having played for Sky Jammers, Nkumba Marines,Power, Miracle Eagles and Warriors.
Meanwhile, center Derrick Katumba and veteran guards Albert Aciko and Chris Kyambadde have been released by KIU.
