The UCU Canons endured a difficult weekend in the National Basketball League (NBL), suffering back-to-back defeats that raise questions about the team’s ability to close out games under pressure.

Both teams entered the game with enthusiasm, but JKL gained command in the second quarter and never looked back

The match was interrupted by heavy rainfall, which caused the third quarter to be played three times due to wet playing conditions.

UCU Lady Canons continued their impressive start to the 2025 National Basketball League (NBL) season, securing a 56-40 win over KIU Rangers at Lugogo Indoor Arena on 29th March. 

Despite a strong effort from captain Ibanda Lwabanga, UCU failed to hold off a late surge from the Rockets, marking a frustrating start to the new campaign.

As the National Basketball League (NBL) 2025 season approaches, the UCU Canons and UCU Lady Canons have bolstered their rosters following key departures. The league is set to tip off on March 21st, with UCU teams focused on rebuilding and remaining competitive.
