The Eagles’ player-cum-team manager clattered the floor while contesting a rebound with Jimmy Enabu and blacked out needing urgent medical attention at Mulago Hospital that Friday night. 2012-05-24T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/Promoted+sides+look+to+each+other+for+solace/-/690268/1411730/-/inrler/-/index.html Rez Life and Vegetarian came through a bruising Division Two series final last year and must have hoped to enjoy life in the top tier upon promotion. Predictably, they have found the going very tough in Division One which makes their clash at YMCA court today even more important. 2012-05-23T09:15:20Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/KIU++Power+cruise+in+league/-/690268/1410854/-/r0m94k/-/index.html DMark Power showed KIU Titans how to close out regular season games without breaking much sweat. On Sunday, the latter, who have a roster capable of delivering a maiden Fuba League title, copied fast beating Miracle Eagles 80-51. 2012-05-21T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/No+Sudi++no+problem+for+UCU/-/690268/1410324/-/ncw4kt/-/index.html UCU Canons are making the presumed dependency on Sudi Ulanga look like a myth. The university side have won two games on the bounce without the star guard. 2012-05-20T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/Warriors+maul+Falcons/-/690268/1409418/-/oevntxz/-/index.html Both Falcons and Warriors admitted to being poor offensively after their MTN-Fuba League clash at YMCA court on Friday night. Norman Blick and Ivan Enabu didn’t habour the same conclusion. Together, they ran the show to stretch Warriors’ winning start to five games with a 73-53 victory. Point guard Enabu finished 19 and seven assists in an electrifying display that left the record champions gasping for breath on the transition. 2012-05-19T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/Falcons+seek+form+against+Warriors/-/690268/1408182/-/jy5g9i/-/index.html The Fuba League stage that almost belonged to Falcons is now occupied by DMark Power and Warriors. It will take an effort from the record champions to challenge them. Today at YMCA court, Falcons face Warriors desperate to make early inroads. 2012-05-17T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/Giant+storm+blows+into+Canon+fire/-/690268/1406766/-/c94qqd/-/index.html John Omondi has made his mark as a coach in basketball circles. Also an umpire, Omondi, is one of those responsible for re-organising former champions Charging Rhino. Under him, Rhino returned to the men’s Division One but he left the club mid-way through last season. Rhino were relegated at the first time of asking. 2012-05-15T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1406012/-/f47fbmz/-/index.html One week after Ndejje University Angels reminded KIU Titans of the road ahead if the latter are to challenge the duopoly of Warriors and DMark Power, the two shared happiness. 2012-05-14T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1404528/-/f48p0mz/-/index.html Kyebambe’s fall inevitably brings to focus the question of how prepared Ugandan sports are in terms of fast aid and medics at venues 2012-05-12T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/DMark+Power+ready+to+sink+Eagles+further/-/690268/1403870/-/pgsiwp/-/index.html On the opening day of last season, DMark Power started their Fuba League title defence in unconvincing fashion, edging Miracle Eagles 96-91. 2012-05-11T11:50:26Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/Afidra+returns+as+Power+land+financial+boost/-/690268/1402220/-/14a8x20/-/index.html DMark Power captain Isaac Afidra joined the national basketball champions last evening in practice just hours after the team received new financial backing. 2012-05-08T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/UCU+Canons+surge+past+Nkumba/-/690268/1399968/-/qo6tooz/-/index.html The rise of KIU Titans in the past week perhaps reminded UCU Canons that they might have to work a little harder to get to the Fuba League semifinals again. 2012-05-05T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/AND1+maestros+set+to+charm+basketball+fans/-/690268/1399270/-/h4nikt/-/index.html Dunking is as easy as a lay-up to them. Their dribbles are as fast as lighting. That partly explains why their moves left fans dazed at YMCA last year. The AND1 basketball maestros are back in town. 2012-05-04T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/Titans++Omondi+punishes+Falcons/-/690268/1399252/-/lfy10nz/-/index.html Falcons did all they could to hold onto Richard Omondi but he slipped out of their grasp into the KIU Titans’ den last week. The Kenyan returned in demolition form, scoring a game high 18 points and 12 rebounds for KIU Titans to defeat Falcons 64-54 in the Fuba League at YMCA court on Wednesday. 2012-05-03T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1396426/-/fhq7tpz/-/index.html Not even home ground advantage could spur Kampala to victory against a hugely impressive Nairobi team in the women’s East and Central Africa Inter-cities Championship final at YMCA on Saturday. 2012-04-29T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1395740/-/fhqtqwz/-/index.html The East and Central Africa Intercities Basketball which ended yesterday might take the honours for being one of the least attended and least publicized events in recent times. First, the organizers KCCA had promised to have the Lugogo Indoor Stadium available as the annual tournament got underway on Tuesday. Almost as expected, that failed and the eternal sanctuary at YMCA court filled the blanks. 2012-04-28T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1393992/-/fhs6ouz/-/index.html Moyo overcame a 10-point deficit at halftime to stun Mogadishu 65-62 in an entertaining East and Central Africa Inter-Cities Championships encounter at YMCA yesterday. 2012-04-25T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1393382/-/fhsbfhz/-/index.html Reigning Most Valuable Player (MVP) Andrew Olweny was the only omission from the Rugby Cranes team for the second leg of the Elgon Cup. Olweny, who laboured through the 19-5 victory over Kenya on Saturday with a strapped left knee, was replaced by Arthur Mukama. 2012-04-24T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1393294/-/fhsc70z/-/index.html Mukono started the East and Central Africa Inter Cities Championship with an 83-33 thumping of Ethiopian representatives Hargeisa at YMCA yesterday evening. Desmond Owili was the architect of Mukono’s victory, garnering a game high 19 points. 2012-04-24T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1392482/-/fhsyy7z/-/index.html The bulk of the Kampala men’s team is from league champions DMark Power with six of the 12 players selected by coach Bernice Ankunda. 2012-04-23T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1390994/-/fhu9nbz/-/index.html Today feels like a new dawn for Falcons as they face Eagles in the MTN-Fuba League at YMCA court. Five days ago, Falcons went from near no-hopers to genuine title contenders by signing Stephen Omony, Francis Tumusiime and Geoff Omondi. 2012-04-21T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1390100/-/fhug62z/-/index.html Eric Malinga is out injured but very few will notice his absence with Sam Gombya ruling the paint for Warriors. The attention will again be on the 7ft 1in centre as the 2009 champions face Ndejje University Angels in the MTN-Fuba League at YMCA court today. 2012-04-19T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1389182/-/fiapyoz/-/index.html Omony left Falcons in acrimonious fashion in 2010 over non-payment of wages. He guided Miracle Eagles to their first play-offs appearance last season. 2012-04-18T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1386638/-/ficp56z/-/index.html UCU are hoping for a better 2012 season after coming within a whisker of playing last season’s final against Power. 2012-04-14T21:00:00Z http://www.monitor.co.ug/Sports/Basketball/-/690268/1385856/-/fidctpz/-/index.html Two teams, Nkumba Marines and Makerere Eagles, that looked like relegation candidates on the opening day of the MTN-Fuba League, clash at YMCA court today. 2012-04-13T21:00:00Z
