AS Salé vs. City Oilers – 4:45pm (Ugandan Time)
After turning in a solid performance in the tournament opener but falling short against Groupement Sportif des Pétroliers (GSP), City Oilers return to action on Saturday afternoon.
The Zone V champions take on Association Sportive de Salé who shocked Clube Recreativo e Desportivo do Libolo 84-83 in their opening game.
In American forward, Brandon Freeman who is good inside-out, efficient center Soufiane Kourodu and Abdelhakim Zouita, City Oilers’ front court of Landry Ndikumana, Kami Kabangu and Stanley Ociiti have to work on the defensive end.
Mandy Juruni will be hoping point guard Ben Komakech and Kabangu come to life having struggled in the opening game connecting just five shots of a combined 25 from the floor.
The Uganda champions allowed 15 offensive rebounds against GSP and that could prove calamitous against a more efficient AS Sale.
Jimmy Enabu’s offensive armory will be put to test as the Ugandan champions try to put up a challenge against the Moroccans.
