Full Story about UCU win against Nam Blazers in Round one

They trailed at halftime in the first 4 and in their previous one, they had a 24-point lead which vanished in thin air and the KCCA Panther were within 1 point in the final quarter.

The UCU Canons on the other hand have lost 2 of their 5 second round games, against red-hot Kampala Rockets and the KIU Titans.

In their last game, they were shooting lights out against Power and they became the second team to score 90+ points in multiple games this season.

Despite losing 2 of the 5 games, the UCU Canons have a higher points difference, with 36 compared to 26 for the Namuwongo Blazers.

The biggest problem for the Namuwongo Blazers has been the narrow winning margins, 3 of their games have been won with less than 3 points difference.

Additionally, the new signings have yet to impact much, with both Diopa Durocher and Arthur Wanyoto averaging less than 4 points per game.

However, the Nam Blazers resigned Jimmy D. Williams and he will be making his season debut tonight, how much can he impact? In his 2 games last season, he averaged 22 points and he showed how good he can be when it comes scoring the basketball. Was he the missing piece?
