Basketball cup action starts today
The Khomas Basketball Association (KBA) resumes after a month's break.
The second round of 2017 Khomas basketball season kicks off today in the capital. The league resumes after a month-long break, due to the unavailability of the gym hall, which was used by Unam for exams.
In the men's first division, Unam Wolves went into the break sitting on top of the log with nine points from five matches having won four, and losing one.
They were followed by DHL Titans who had the same record but were in position two due to a lower goal average.
Third on the log are Blue Devils with eight points, followed by Unam Rebels with six points, Lions with five points and Plaza Lions sitting with four points.
Wolves and Titans now have 12 points apiece, with the average goal difference still favouring the students.
Lions, meanwhile, have jumped over Rebels and gained four more points. They now stand at nine points, but are still behind third-placed Blue Devils who have a better goal average.
Plaza Warriors anchor the log with six points. The men's second division see's Zula Black Mambas leading a 10 team log, having amassed 17 points, one more than Unam Wolves II.
At the bottom of the second division is Technical Basketball Academy (TBA) and Lingua College, who gathered 11 and nine points, respectively.
In the women's section, Unam Sparks continue leading the log with 10 points, followed by BAS Falcons with eight points and Lion Ladies having seven 7 points.
They are followed by TBA and DHPS Penguins.
Nigel Muwanigwa, KBA competitions director, said this year's competition does not have sponsors; hence the league will use the team's affiliation fees to buy trophies and pay match officials.
