*UCU Canons Vs KCCA Panthers (1-1), 7:30pm
UCU Canons and KCCA Panthers are set to clash in the decisive game three of the National Basketball League quarterfinal playoffs at YMCA court in Wandegeya.
The winner will secure the last spot in the semifinal series.
KCCA Panthers forced this do-or-die game by defeating the Canons 79-62 in Game Two on Tuesday.
This came after a dominant 80-60 victory by UCU in Game One, setting the stage for a thrilling finale.
KCCA, having beaten UCU twice during the regular season, are the favorites heading into Friday’s game.
Their robust team defense on Tuesday left the Canons struggling to keep up with their intensity and physical play.
For UCU Canons, who have reached the finals twice before, experience and pedigree will be crucial.
However, their frontcourt players, Peter Sifuma and Joel Kayira, underperformed in Game Two, scoring just 7 and 8 points respectively.
And their contributions will be vital if UCU is to out-rebound KCCA, a key factor in determining who will face City Oilers in the best-of-five semifinal series.
