Patriots clinched their third consecutive title.
Patriots BBC, BKBNL 2020 Champions

Patriots clinched a third consecutive title of the Basketball league in Rwanda for men’s category and The Hoops won their first title for women’s category .

The Patriots, founded in 2014 won their fourth and third in a row yesterday after overcoming REG BBC at the finals of the tournament created to conclude the basketball league.

The Bank of Kigali sponsored league kicked off in January 2020 with 14 teams and was later in March 2020 halted together with all other sports activities as a means to combat the spread of the Corona Virus outbreak. Rwanda basketball governing body FERWABA at a general assembly meeting held on September 12 this year, decided that Basketball League should be resumed and played in a tournament format.

In a bubble setting, BKBNL resumed in October 2020. There were 3 different stages; group stages, semi-finals and finals. Yesterday Saturday, the rivalry between Patriots BBC and REG BBC resumed in the final of the tournament. Patriots BBC led all 4 quarters of the game to guarantee a win over REG BBC and a third conservation title stacking up their tally of 4 since their establishment in 2014.

In the women’s category, it was a historic day for Mutokambali’s The Hoops Rwanda as they won their first basketball league title. They achieved victory over RP-IPRC Huye in an intense match which ended in a close score of 68-63. RP-IPRC put up a good fight leading the first, second and through to the third quarter of the game but this was not good enough to match the energy when The Hoops put matters into their hands in the last quarter. It was an unimaginable scene for side RP-IPRC Huye who had not lost a single league game since July 2019.

Patriots Vs REG - The rivalry continues in the BKBNL Closing tournament Final.

A massive rivalry continues as Patriots BBC and REG BBC tussle it out in the final of the BKBNL closing tournament.

History is repeating itself as it was last year when Patriots and REG were the two clubs that competed for the Basketball League title. The two sides are back at it in a new format that we can call playoffs even though this time, there will be a single game.

The semi-finals in both men’s and women’s categories were played yesterday Friday, October 23, 2020. The first match saw RP-IPRC(W) Huye play against APR BBC(W) and the army side was the first to drop out in the race to the finals. IPRC Huye team captain, Sandra Nelly Nsanzabaganwa scored 19 points help his team overcome rivals 67-52 to secure a spot in the finals.

The second game of the day was in the men’s category. REG beat APR 75-68. This match’s highlight was an outstanding performance from REG and Rwanda National Team Power forward, Kami Kabange Milambwe who scored 24 points and new recruit Aden Faisal Jama who scored 18 points while APR’s Isom Cedrick scored 13 points and provided 10 assists.

This match was blessed by the presence of H.E President Paul Kagame.

In the third game and second semifinal for women’s category, The Hoops eliminated Ubumwe to set up an iconic final against the invincible IPRC Huye. In this match, coach Mutokambali’s Ladies succeeded to stop Rose Akon who exhibited a high-level performance in these games. Rose Akon scored 13 points in this match and this is the lowest score from her since the start of the tournament on October 18. The Hoops’ Ebengo Feza, didn’t miss any single minute of the game as she played 40 minutes, she recorded the highest score of the game too, 29 points and 25 rebounds. The match ended 69-53 in favour of Hoops Rwanda.

The last match of the day was between Patriots and IPRC Kigali. We have seen IPRC Kigali beat the Patriots in the regular season. The first surprise was the absence of Buzangu Mike of IPRC Kigali due to the number of foreigners (only 2 foreigners are allowed to be used in a match). Coach Bahufite Jean chose to use a young Burundian Point Guard, Benit Nijimbere.

The brotherhood battle. Benit Nijimbere of IPRC Kigali (Yellow) confronts his old brother Guibert Nijimbere of Patriots.

In this match, the Patriots beat IPRC Kigali in all the Quarters with the help of their rich squad where they rotated players from the start to the end of the match. In their 88 points scored, the Patriots had 35 points from the bench which is almost 40% of all the points they scored. Said Amisi’s 19 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block were not enough to hand IPRC Kigali a win. On the other side, Kenneth Gasana put the ball 18 points through the hoop in the 17 minutes he played.

The final games are scheduled today on October 24, 2020. IPRC Huye vs The Hoops Rwanda and REG vs Patriots. And the question is, will Mutokambali lead the Hoops to their first-ever league title or will IPRC Huye clinch the trophy with an unbeaten record. In both the regular season and this tournament created to conclude the BKBNL, IPRC Huye have never recorded a lose.

Henry Mwinuka. REG BBC’s Head Coach.

In men’s category, basketball fans are excited to see if REG coach Henry Mwinuka, who won last year’s trophy with the Patriots, can give REG their second league title. Last season, the Patriots with Coach Mwinuka came from down 3-1 and won the league title 3-4 in the playoffs. This prompted REG to immediately acquire the services of coach Henry Mwinuka. Moreover, the former KIU Titans and Patriots coach has three league titles in the last 4 seasons.

The Rivalry continues today.

Mutokambali determined to lead The Hoops to their first title.

Coach Mutokambali determined to lead The Hoops to their first title at The BKBNL Tournament.

After group stages played in a round-robin format, apparently to a greater extent all side now have an understanding of each opponent’s strength and weaknesses. To this, they will forge a strategy to proceed to the final stage of the contention.

For Coach Mutokambi Moise of The Hoops, a proper acquaintance has already been established for now chief rivals Rose Akon and Georgia Odhiambo. In a post-match interview after the match against APR BBC, Coach Mutoka spoke about the strategies he used to beat APR BBC and added that he would repeat what he did to defeat Ubumwe. The Hoops beat Ubumwe 83-67.

The semi-final is advantageous to The Hoops if they can defeat Ubumwe. Going Past Ubumwe in the semi-finals will mean that The Hoops have higher chances of claiming their first title.

Mutokambali said, “The group stage is over, the first two games were tough for us because we lacked team chemistry in the game since we had not played or been together for a while. We did not camp, we have to practice back home. It is not the same as the people who work twice a day and stay together like IPRCs, they stayed together in their educational institutions. That is why the first game was hard for us.”

“We tried to improve in the second game against Ubumwe and the tactics we ended the match with, gave us the momentum, courage and confidence for everyone. We had already corrected the defense and the rest was going to continue with the attack. That is why we tried to play fast breaks and counter-attacks against APR. It worked for us because since Dumi (Sandra Kantore) is not playing due to the injury, they have no point guard with the ability to organize and distribute the balls so much. We stopped Charlotte from scoring then we made a difference early just to rest our players and prepare for the next match.”

How they will be preparing for the match against Ubumwe in the semifinals

“We have to prepare as if it is our final because it will be a single-elimination game, knock out. we have to put in more effort than we had put in the previous encounter. They have great players like Akon and Georgia.”

He added “We will have to implement a strategy to stop them. Especially Rose Akon, in the game we played against Ubumwe was the game in which Akon scored few points. In the other matches, she scored above 20 but our game she scored 19 points. We have to prevent her to score over 20 points since our scorers are back on track. Cisse’s score is high now. It is a must-win game. We have to reach the finals.” Said Coach Mutokambali

Mutoka determined to lead BKBNL to their first time.

“There is hope because I think if we face RP-IPRC Huye again, we will be the favorite because we learned a lot from the loss. We played them with the feeling that we could easily win. However, they gave us a challenge. I hope next time the players will come to the court with zero mistakes.”

“They (IPRC Huye) are the ones who have to be on pressure, they have to keep their winning streak. In the first game we played against them, we made mistakes and got into the game late, that will never happen. When a team beats you in the group stage game, you probably have a better chance of defeating them in the final. We are ready even if it will not be easy. We want to win this trophy to make history, the Hoops Rwanda have no league title,” said Mutokambali.

The hoops Rwanda team, which is known for raising young girl players, has in recent years started competing on a high level and they are the title contenders. Even if they have not won the league, they started to collect some local trophies, like this year’s International Women’s day tournament.
