KIU Titans Vs Our Saviour 6:30pm (YMCA)
KIU Titans may have made the most noise in the off season with three major additions that may have made them straight up contenders but Our Saviour have made the most business. In fact all players at Our Saviour are new as the team was only formed a few months ago.
In their first season in Ugandan Basketball after acquiring the NBL place from UCU JV, Our Saviour started off by raiding Falcons for Syrus Kiviiri, Steven ‘Duxx’ Mwesigye and Yves Kalambayi. Then picked Sunday Okot from UCU Canons.
The quartet will form the core of Our Saviour when the new side takes on university outfit KIU Titans tonight in the Airtel National Basketball League at YMCA.
KIU Titans have shown that they will compete this season going by the pre-season tournaments and couldn’t get a better way to get off their season started than facing a team with competitive players in Our Saviour.
With Geoffrey Soro looking to get back to the scoring machine he was three years ago, Edwin Katerega gaining confidence and Norman Blick running the wings, Our Saviour’s front court have a lot of work on their hands at the defensive end.
There is not much difference in the teams' back courts and will be interesting to see how they match up.
