NBBF League: Defending champions, Kwara Falcons targets BAL Tourney for second time

Posted : 29 October 2023
Head Coach of Kwara Falcons, Baba Jubril, has insisted that his focus remains on defending the Premier League and once again representing the country at the 2024 edition of the Basketball Africa League (BAL).

The Harmony Warriors finished on top in the first phase of the league in the Ibadan Centre, defeating Ebun Comets, Hoops & Reads, and Ondo Raiders, before suffering a 58-67 point defeat to Oluyole Warriors on Day 4. Baba Jubril's side bounced back on Day 5 to secure a victory over Invaders.

On the final day of the first phase in Ibadan, the Falcons comprehensively defeated Impressions Academy 75-39 points to claim the top spot in the center.

Coach Jubril stated that his goal as the handler of the defending champions was to successfully defend the title and represent the country at next year's Basketball Africa League.

"As the defending champions, a lot was expected from us, and finishing the final phase on a high note gives us a lot of confidence as we head to the second phase."

"Going into the next phase, we'll be looking to build on our performance in this phase and learn from the only loss we suffered," Coach Jubril concluded.

According to the Nigeria Basketball Federation, Conference Eight of the Atlantic and Savannah will take place from November 4th to 12th, 2023. The top 4 teams from the Conference zones in Abuja, Asaba, Lafia, and Ibadan will converge at the conferences to compete for a final spot in the Finals.
