In a battle of two teams with contrasting forms, the Ndejje Angels and Our Savior face off on Wednesday in a crucial match-up within the National Basketball League.
With both teams languishing at the bottom of the table, this game holds significant importance as they strive for a fresh start in the second round of fixtures.
The Ndejje Angels find themselves in a dismal run, having failed to secure a victory in four of their last five games.
Occupying the bottom position with a 3-7 record, the team is determined to turn their fortunes around.
However, point guard Jonathan Oketch expressed optimism in his team, citing the challenges of building team chemistry with a relatively new roster.
"We have had a relatively new squad, and the chemistry hasn't been the best at times,” Oketch said before adding. “But this game presents us with a clean slate, and we will be better in the second round."
Oketch emphasized the necessity for the team to unite and accumulate points to improve their log ranking.
“We are determined to take the win home; no matter the team's run, we are a better team." His words reflect the team's confidence and belief in their ability to compete against any opponent.
On the other hand, Our Savior approach the fixture on a positive note, fueled by their convincing 69-55 win over the UCU Canons in their previous game.
With a four-game winning streak, Our Savior aims to capitalize on their current momentum. Although currently lie 11th on the log with a 5-3 record, a victory over the Ndejje Angels could propel them as high as sixth place in the league standings.
In a critical battle that will likely decide the game's outcome, the focus shifts to the clash between Moses Mugisha and Joseph Kumbai in the paint. Joseph Kumbai, leads the league with an impressive 13 rebounds per game, poses a significant threat to the Ndejje Angels.
Moses Mugisha, on the other hand, has been instrumental in Our Savior's recent winning streak, averaging ten rebounds per game.
Mugisha's contribution has been crucial to the team's success, and his performance against Kumbai will be vital in shaping the game's outcome.
Both teams boast efficient shooters from beyond the arc, with James Obrack and Joseph Wacha leading the charge for Our Savior with a 32% success rate.
These two sharpshooters can sway the game's momentum and potentially determine the final result.
