Analysts and fans alike would like to agree that champions Kyambogo Warriors and DMark Power are miles ahead of the pack in the MTN-Fuba basketball league.
And with Mountain Dew Falcons likely on their way to the drop, there is a window for a new entrant into the game’s big three.

The potential suitors who must relish the opportunity of going through this window are KIU Titans. KIU will start their account against newly-promoted Berkeley at YMCA court Wandegeya.

The burden now lies with coach Nimrod Kaboha to shed the nearly men tag having got his side to the semi-finals, losing to Power last season. Kaboha has followed that up with reaching the final of the Sprite Super Challenge, losing to the same side, two weeks ago.

Elsewhere, Kaboha, also coach of the women’s side, KIU Rangers, has a long day against Amazon Rhino while Lady Bucks face Mak Cubs.
