Wednesday results
M: Heaters 67-84 Falcons
W: UCU 105-47 Crane
Nothing less than regaining the MTN-Fuba League Division One crown will satisfy Kyambogo Warriors even with the applause they got in contributing to a thrilling final series last year.
Coming from 3-0 down to tie the series with DMark Power before losing in a decisive Game Seven is still fresh in the minds of many players.
Not much of the past matters today at YMCA court when the two finalists clash with both teams seeking to protect their perfect starts.
According to Bernice Ankunda, the Power coach, size will ultimately decide the winner. “They are bigger than us so we have to control the boards,” he said.
His practice sessions are dominated by breathless running to enhance the team’s customary transitional basketball which was tested in the 77-75 win over Rhinos but their season is woven in MVP Ben Komakech.
Eric Malinga and Ivan Enabu will be vital for Warriors.
