Ahead of our next game against Kwara Falcons, Rivers Hoopers head coach Ogoh Odaudu expects an explosive game.
“We are going to go all out to get a win. Like I said we are expecting to go unbeaten. Kwara Falcons are the other team that have not lost a game so it’s going to be quite explosive but all in all we are hoping to come out of that game with a win and win well.”
