he UCU Canons continued their resurgence in the 2025 National Basketball League, defeating the KIU Titans 63-46 on Monday, 21st April at YMCA Wandegeya. 

A few weeks ago, I received a phone call from a seemingly anxious recent graduate, and my former student named Robert. Below is part of what our conversation was like:

UCU started strong, winning the first quarter 20-9 before turning up the intensity in the second quarter with a 20-5 performance, taking a commanding 40-14 lead at half-time.

The UCU Canons secured their second victory of the 2025 National Basketball League season with a well-earned 78-70 win over Sommet Basketball Club in front of their home crowd in Mukono.

The UCU Lady Cardinals recorded back-to-back wins in the FUFA Women’s Elite League with a narrow but hard-fought 1-0 victory over She Geme FC on April 19, 2025, at the UCU Grounds.

The tie began in London, where Mikel Arteta’s side shocked the footballing world by demolishing Madrid 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal’s record signing, Declan Rice, lived up to his £105 million price tag, scoring two breathtaking free kicks, while Mikel Merino added a touch of finesse with a curling strike that gave the Gunners a significant advantage heading into the second leg.
