They need time to show their full capacity to be able to compete at the highest level and I hope the more competitions we play, the better the team will become.”The players that got the nod for the first time include; Espoir pair youngster Placide Uwizeye and Congolese-born Bievenu Ngandu, USA-Ashiville Christian Academybased Patrice Twagirayezu APR duo Mouhamed Rafiki Sunny Niyomugabo Munyandamutsa.The competition will be used as part of preparations for this year’s 27th African basketball championships slated for August 20-31 in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
