The KIU Rangers will start their quest to go back to the finals and the first opponents in their way is the Miracle Ravens.
The Ravens have been inconsistent and they find themselves in a tough spot, playing a KIU Rangers side who are on a mission.
During the regular season, KIU Rangers beat the Ravens hands down in the first round. Ines Kanyamuneza (4 3-pointers) and Mary Amaniyo combined for 32 points while the Ravens had a total 49 points.
However, in the second round, the 2 teams went toe to toe and eventually, the KIU Rangers won it in the final minutes.
Amaniyo Mary and Ines Kanyamuneza went off once again combining for 37 points but the standout player was Alado Patricia who delivered 12 points and 15 rebounds off the bench.
The core of Miracle (Brenda Alyano, Lilian Cherotich, Susan Amito and Akello Winnifred) has been phenomenal this season and they have scored 68% of the teams points.
The KIU Rangers shall be looking to try and stop the 4 players and if they can successfully do that, the alternatives for Miracle aren’t as lethal.
On the other hand, the Miracle Ravens shall try as much as they can to cut off the shooting by Ines Kanyamuneza.
Lilian Cherotich is also expected to try and get a couple of blocks and defensive Rebounds but with Amaniyo and Sharon Kirabo all attacking the inside, it will be interesting to see how she can deal with those threats.
