TTU took an 18-4 first quarter lead as Kings struggled to score points en route to victory; all games in the league are played with a running time format.
Speaking exclusively with Basketballghana.com, Dr. Ankrah commended his team for the win but was quick to point out there was the need to improve.

“It’s been a good game but we still have a lot to learn. We are a bit shaky when it came to defence so I just told them after the game that we need to do a lot of training so on Tuesday we will come back we will try and do justice to the defensive lane” he said.
