ANU Panthers bid to rise from the ashes after weekend smoldering by Flames

Africa Nazarene University (ANU Panthers) basketball team head coach Michael Oluoch reckons his team is yet to gain rhythm since the start of the women’s basketball league season.

The students haven’t won any game so far even as they lost 34-51 to fellow varsity side USIU Flames over the weekend at the Nyayo Gymnasium, Nairobi.

“We played badly, our finishing is poor, and we are missing a lot. Execution is our biggest undoing, if you look at the way we played you will find that we do everything right but the execution part becomes a very big problem for us. We are even losing under the rim, when we are alone and that made us lose games,” Oluoch said.

Despite the poor run, Oluoch is optimistic that his team will rise and show what they are made of.

 “We are working on our mistakes and we hope our next game we will improve on that. Generally we have corrected the mistakes that we had and the only part that is remaining is the finishing part under the rim which is a really big concern for me and how we can make it better,” Oluoch added.

In their weekend match against USIU Flames, Panthers got the going too hot to handle losing in all but the last quarter where they registered a 10-10 tie.
