After a challenging start to the season, A1 Challenge finds themselves in desperate pursuit of their first victory in the National Basketball League.
With eight winless games under their belt, they now face a crucial showdown against the formidable Nabisunsa Girls in Wednesday night action at Lugogo.
A1 Challenge head coach Eric Matovu remains optimistic, believing his team has the potential to turn their fortunes around.
"I think the team is ready for this game," a confident Matovu told Pulse Sports before adding. "We have been working hard, staying grounded, and approaching each opportunity with determination. It's all about giving ourselves the best chance to win."
Nabisunsa Girls, currently positioned 11th in the table with a 2-5 record, will be a challenging opponent.
Known for their lightning-fast transitions and strong team dynamics, they recently showcased their prowess in the National Schools competitions.
Matovu acknowledges the challenge ahead but trusts his team's ability to handle it. "We know their quick transition game and their synergy on the court. So we'll stick to our game plan, work within our structures, and aim to neutralize their strengths.”
Both teams enter this clash with something to prove. While A1 Challenge has suffered eight consecutive defeats, they are fueled by the hunger to break their winless streak.
Nabisunsa Girls, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from recent setbacks and secure a decisive victory.
Keep an eye on Sarah Namale, Nabisunsa Girls' star player, who poses a significant threat with her impressive double-double average of 13 points per game and 14 rebounds per game.
A1 Challenge must devise a solid defensive strategy to contain her impact on the court
