Basketball in Africa

Aren’t there some teams in the 2015 National Basketball League that evoke a lot of sympathy from you?
You can have your BushCourt or Diamonds In The Sun or even your Warriors but neutrals will have their Star Times Falcons.
Falcons’ regular season has been unbearable as a wooden cross on the road to Golgotha and it looks pretty timely to bring in a crisis management expert. Beware Falcons!
When they walk on court to face off with UCU Canons on Wednesday night at YMCA (weather permitting) the spot light will be shinning brighter on Benard Oluoch’s side than ever.
On paper and on the National Basketball League table, Falcons look mediocre. They sit a lowly 6th with 31 points only two slots above safety.
In fairness, Victory over Nick Natuhereza’s side will be a herculean task though if secured, will be a twofold coup.
It will not only cure the ill-will to win around the squad but also put them a good few steps ahead on the log.  The fight for favourable playoffs opponents has sprung up.
On the other side, UCU Canons is a team to beat. Nick Natuhereza’s charges have given a notice of their estimable talents and it is no surprise that they are at the summit of the log with 38 points, one better than second placed KIU Titans.
