The Dodan Warriors threw away a bright chance of confirming their place in the semis of the on-going Final 8 playoffs when they lost to a determined Union Bank side 63- 57 points.
The victory brought back Union Back in the fight for who qualifies to the semis having lost to reigning league champions, Kano Pillars by 51 – 67 points.
A proud Rotimi Savage praised his wards for doing a good job and the fighting spirit with which they approached the game. “Even when we were down, we didn’t give up and the Dodan Warriors players unfortunately were making mistakes we capitalized on. I am glad we’re back in contention,” he said.
However, Dodan Warriors coach, Chris Nomigo had declared that his boys will have no choice than to rebuild their confidence and take the fight to Kano Pillars in the team’s last group game today. “Unfortunately, we lost the game that was already ours to win. We take the blame for the fault but look forward to a better performance against Kano Pillars. If we need to spill our blood to get to the next stage, we’ll do so.”
