Uganda Gazelles gave themselves a chance of playing for a ticket to the AfroBasket 2023 after beating South Sudan 74-53 on Thursday night.
As was the case against Egypt the previous day, the game against South Sudan was a must-win for the hosts, who treated it as such.
Uganda had a good mix of sets and transition through Brenda Ekon who troubled South Sudan getting several of their players in foul trouble, with two – Adut Bulgak and Anegor Wol – eventually fouling out.
