CHARGING Rhinos take on Sadolin Power today as the MTN basketball league preliminary round enters the final week.

With their playoff dreams shattered, Rhinos still have an edge over fourth-placed Power in the highly billed encounter.

Rhinos will determine Power’s final position on the Yello max table before the playoff semi-final clashes next week. A victory for Rhinos will see Power maintain fourth place on the table and face on-form Falcons in the playoffs.

But in case Power pulls off a win, they will improve their position to third place and set up a semi-final date with Warriors.

Another match will see champions A-1 Challenge take on Lady Bucks in a women’s playoff battle also at the same venue.

A-1 Challenge, currently fourth on the league table, will have the chance to move to third if they defeat Lady Bucks and pray that KCC Leopards outlast Kampala International University Rangers tomorrow.
