AFROBASKET 2023 Flavia Oketcho is upbeat after Gazelles' good Afrobasket preps
The 12-time National Basketball League champion will once again lead the Gazelles at the 2023 Afrobasket edition in Kigali, and she asserts that the good preps they have done as a team will go a long way in helping them perform better.
Their journey to the quarters will, however, have a lot to do with the performance they put up in the group phase of the competition.
The teams that top their groups after the groups games will automatically go to the quarters, while the other two have to qualify through a playoff game.
