    National Basketball League: Fixture

    UCU Lady Canons vs. Miracle Ravens

    JT Jaguars vs. City Oilers

    The UCU Lady Canons will be taking on the Miracle Ravens in the National Basketball League at YMCA Courts on Wednesday.

    The Miracle Ravens, having edged the log leaders, the KCCA Leopards, in the previous game, come into this duel with a mental boost.

    However, UCU Lady Cardinals’ Shakira Navubya believes they have everything in their hands to beat the Miracle Ravens.

    “We are ready because we have been preparing. Of course, we want to win because miracle Ravens have never been a threat to us,” she stated.

    “Regardless of how we do that, I am very confident that we shall win. I know Miracle is a good team, but we are equally good, and that should now be taken on the court. They have won some hard games, but that hardly matters,” she added.

    Looking at the log, Miracle has secured seven victories and only suffered three losses in the 10 games played.

    With their hard-working and physical attitude always staged on the court, UCU will have to bring the A-game so as to survive a scare.

    Navubya believes they know how to handle games in different situations because they are prepared by the best coaches.

    “In basketball, you win with three dimensions: speed, physicality, or skill. We are prepared by the best (coaches), and so we are not scared of anyone. The players are ready, and everyone is in the best shape to play,” she concluded.
