Playing only their second basketball game in their entire history, Cavendish University’s men basketball side proved a handful for giants Ndejje University Angels in the maiden Zuku University Basketball League on Saturday.
Obed Walker’s Ndejje Angels play in the Airtel National basketball league and were tasked to whip a hapless Cavendish team whose nucleus is made up of South Sudanese refugee students but the minnows matched Ndejje point for point before the Luweero based side broke sweat in the final quarter to win 76-69 at UCU Mukono main campus.
To the crowd, the best team lost!
For the second weekend running, Jonah Otim continued with his match winning and his 28 points with James Okello’s 15 pushed Walker’s Angels to victory. Jacob Tocmac and Gatwech Kutai were Cavendish’s stars with 25 and 18 points respectively.
“This is just the beginning of our sports ascendancy,” Fred Mufta the Cavendish University Uganda Sports coordinator tells Red Pepper Online.
“By May 2014 we shall have assembled a strong team to take part in other Sports disciplines like beach soccer, woodball and tennis,: the retired FIFA referee vows.
Mufta reveals that the Kansanga based institution is yet to offer sports scholarships like other universities but with time it will also be able to attract the best talents in the country.
Ndejje now lead Group B with eight points, four ahead of Kampala University.
In Group A, Nick Natuhereza’s UCU enjoyed an ego-soothing weekend with back-to-back laughers against Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU). UCU thumped IUIU 101-31on Saturday before demolishing them 100-35 on Sunday. UCU lead Group A with six points, two ahead of Makerere, who were inactive.
