Fidel Okoth Odour stood out to inspire the Titans with a touch of class, scoring the game's highest,18 points,17 rebounds and three assists. His efforts were supported by the elusive Josep Chuma who posted 15 points and led the rebounders table with 20 rebounds.

Isaiah Mabeny Ater continued with his impressive form and had 18 points and six rebounds to his name while Ahmed Kassa magnificently added four threes to the tally and as well proved his return to form with somewhat spectacular dribbles and movements.

UPDF started strongly and won the first quarter of the game which prompted a bitter response from the KIU Titans though the game remained tight until the last second on the clock.

KIU Titans, now in second place have the same points,36 as table leaders City Oilers though the former has played two games more. Power is number three while UPDF, Namuwongo Blazers and UCU Canons follow respectively.

Coach Raymond Muhumuza's boys have only two games to play before the regular season comes to an end. Their next game is against Our Saviour basketball ball club before they conclude the regular season with Brian Wathum's KCCA panthers.
