In a rather unexpected manner, the UMU Flames were swept by Victoria University Crocs in the quarter finals of the 2023 FUBA Division 1 playoffs.
Cedric Alema and Nyong Marier were the architects of the show against UMU Flames as Victoria university in game 2 and they combined for 30 points and 16 rebounds.
Nkumba Marines managed to force game 3 after losing out narrowly in game 1 on Friday.
Mark Ngobi (24 pts, 4 rebs, 5 ast, 2 stl), Gerald Ayiko (14 pts, 15 rebs, 3 stl, 2 blk) and Joseph Kavuma (16 pts, 1 reb, 2 ast) were unplayable in game 1 and helped to guide Falcons to victory.
In Game 2, Nkumba Marines were on a mission and they successfully managed to accomplish it. They played much better defense and as a result, Falcons had to seek some support from the bench which made 26 points.
Nkumba had a slight edge against the Falcons and game 3 will be one of the most interesting encounters.
