This will be the first meeting between the two giants and serves as the porters' first home match of the season at the Makande Welfare Hall and Kiki is keen to get everything right in their quest to leave a smile on their fans’ faces.

“Terror is a very good team. We have met many times before. They shoot and go for transition a lot so we have to balance the court and rotate well in our defence,” said ANU coach Mike Oluoch.
“They crush well for rebounds, so we have to box them out. We are preparing well for the game and God-willing we will play well and win.”
