Union Bank are on a 3game winning streak will face a tough battle against the Warriors at the intimidating Adamasingba Stadium in Ibadan.
The game between Dodan warriors who narrowly fell 64-62 last week to Union Bank will be banking on the foreign Imports Romaric Quenum (Benin Rep) and Mike Savadogo (Burkina Faso) to be guns blazing tomorrow As well as reigning MVP Azuoma Dike who is nursing a minor injury. While Customs will hope to consolidate on last weeks triumph over former champions Royal Hoopers
Slumping former back to back Champions Royal Hoopers who are languishing at the bottom of the Atlantic conference will play host the bullish Police Baton team who last week won back to back games for the first time this season. Both team are yet to find their feet this season which is evident position on the lower end of the table.
