Uganda Christian University basketball teams managed a successful weekend, with back-to-back wins as UCU Canons bounced back from two consecutive defeats against KCCA Panthers and City Oilers with a strong second-half display to defeat Sommet 67–55 in a National Basketball League fixture played on 15 May 2026 at Lugogo Indoor Arena.

UCU Lady Canons delivered a dominant performance to defeat fellow university side KIU Rangers 79–27 in a National Basketball League fixture held at Rezlife Lubowa.

Canons remained composed late in regulation and looked on course for victory before Fayed Bbaale stepped up for the Oilers. With seconds left on the clock, he calmly knocked down three free throws to tie the game and force overtime.

Point guard Flore Dushime led the charge with his season-high 26 points and eight rebounds. He scored 12 of UCU’s 24 fourth-quarter points, taking control when it mattered most. Marvin Okurut added 21 points and six rebounds to support the effort.

UCU Lady Canons extended their unbeaten run with a win over KIU Rangers on Wednesday, 4 March, in a National Basketball League game at Lugogo Indoor Arena.

UCU Canons sealed a narrow 66–65 victory over Sommet on Friday night at Abja Parks Naalya to pick up their second win of the National Basketball League season.
