Basketball in Africa

Charging Rhino cannot survive relegation from the MTN Fuba League men’s topflight even if they win their remaining two regular season games.

The former champions put up a gallant fight against KIU Titans on Sunday night but suffered a heartbreaking 55-51 loss at YMCA. It was Rhino’s 12th loss of the season, which leaves them joint-bottom on the 10-team table alongside Youth Heaters. Both sides have 18 points and there is little time for them to turn the tide.
