There has been excitements all around as the 2024 Zenith Bank Basketball League take centre stage across two centres with defending champion, MFM Women Basketball team ready to defend their title after emerging winners in Lagos last year.
Teams competing in the Savannah Conference would be fighting for points at the Lafia City Hall Basketball Court with those in the Atlantic Conference taking their battle to Akure, the Ondo State capital, starting from Sunday, September 1 to 7.
Speaking with our correspondent, defending champions MFM’s coach, Ochuko Owolabi, said they are ready to de – fend their crown. “We are already in Akure and getting ready for the dunkoff this weekend,” she said.
“At the moment, we are having three of our players with the National team (U-18) but the most important thing is to get enough points ahead of the second leg.
“I want to assure you and dour fans that we have enough players to do the job in Akure and also move ahead for the second phase later.”
