Rivers Hoopers Cruise Over Lagos Islanders

Benjamin Ikechukwu once again was the star performer as he led Rivers Hoopers to a fifth straight win over Lagos Islanders in Akure on Monday. 
Ikechukwu scored 22 points and hit six of Hoopers’ 10 from the three-point line with 2/2 from the free throw line. 
Victor Koko Anthony scored 12 points while Solomon Ajegbeyi added 11 points. 
Hoopers faced a depleted Lagos Islanders team which had just eight active players on their roster. 
The Kings Men made a 25-0 run from 2 minutes left in the first quarter and led by as much as 24 points at the break (35-11).
 Hoopers ensured their Lagos opponents did not get a basket in the second quarter. 
Rivers Hoopers have so far proved that the experience gained from this year’s Basketball Africa League in Kigali,Rwanda was no fluke, extending their unbeaten run to five.  
After having sealed a slot in the final eight, Coach Ogoh Odaudu-led side has set sights on finishing the Atlantic Conference phase unbeaten. 
The Kings Men will next play Invaders of Ekiti on Tuesday.
