•Victoria Crocs Vs KCCA Panthers – 7pm
•Sommet Vs Nam Blazers – 9pm
Victoria Crocs will be seeking revenge when they face KCCA Panthers on Friday in the National Basketball League at Lugogo Indoor Arena.
The Crocs lost the first-round meeting 79-83 on April 1, 2026, and will be targeting payback this time around.
In that encounter, the Crocs edged the opening quarter 25-20 and led by as many as six points twice in the final period before KCCA turned the game around.
Chuol Nyuot recorded a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Aaron John Eboyu and Mark Ngobi added 21 and 19 points respectively, but their efforts were in vain.
Victoria managed just three points from the bench compared to KCCA’s 33 — an area that has remained one of their biggest weaknesses this season.
KCCA also dominated the boards 52-35, with Durocher Lukusa and Waleed Omar contributing 19 and 12 points respectively.
The Crocs have won nine and lost nine games so far, with a playoff spot already secured.
Last season, Victoria finished the regular season with 12 wins but still missed out on the playoffs.
They are now aiming to improve their position on the table to avoid top sides Nam Blazers and City Oilers in the quarterfinals.
KCCA Panthers, who have won 11 and lost eight games, are equally pushing for a better playoff seeding.
