Ulinzi Warriors will commence their Kenya Basketball Federation(KBF) men’s Premier League title defence against resurgent Kenya Ports Authority(KPA) at Makande Gymnasium in Mombasa today.

The semis Game One playoff is expected to be explosive owing to the current form the two sides are in now.

The hosts seem to have put their house in order after struggling in the regular season which saw them bag a berth to the quarter finals playoff by a whisker.

Head coach Anthony Ojukwu said the men’s side will be the surprise package in the KBF league this season.
