UCU Canons head coach Nicholas Natuhereza has revealed that now their focus switches to the playoffs after sealing their fate on the last day of the regular season.

It has not been the best of seasons for the Mukono-based side that needed a win on the last day to survive dropping to Division One.

Reaching this trying and testing moment left the basketball enthusiasts wondering about a side that has produced some of the finest talents in the country.

“It has not been the best season for us but now our attention switches to the playoffs,” Natuhereza said shortly after the end of the game.

“We put ourselves in this place. So it was still upon us to save the situation that we found ourselves in. It’s good to know that we have duly pulled off the assignment,” he added.

The Canons have the best basketball programs in the country. They have so far played the finals twice in 2015 and 2019 which proves the quality they possess.

However, Coach Nicholas pointed out a few reasons that have dragged them behind where he outlined his continuous movement among those.

“There are a number of reasons that have placed us in this trying moment. But I guess even my continuous movements have not done well for the team.”

“I thank the players for working hard to pick this win. But the fans have also turned up in large numbers and I wish they keep doing so even in the upcoming games,” he concluded.

The Canons finished the regular season with 10 wins and as many losses.

In the NBL Playoffs fixture, the Canons will face off against D-Mark Power.
