Basketball league title frontrunners Patriots are in upbeat mood to extend their unbeaten streak to eight successive games when they host struggling Rusizi on Sunday at UR-CST (former KIST) courts, starting at 9am.

Enjoying their second successive season in the national championship, Patriots basketball club are the only league side still unbeaten in the 2015/2016 campaign, and a win against Rusizi will see them on an 8:0 win ratio this season. 

While Henry Mwinuka’s Patriots are having an impressive run this season with a unbeaten run in the league, Rusizi are enduring despairs after losing 76-81 to IPRC-Kigali and 61-77 to Espoir last weekend—the Rusizi-based side has only managed one win out of eight league games.

Title hopefuls, Patriots will look for good performances from the likes of point-guard Aristide Mugabe, center Elie Kaje, small forward Ally Kubwimana and Burundian international, Jean de Dieu Ntagunduka.
