“I was not surprised that we won this match because we had adequate preparations for the Games,” the coach said.

“We had a good training ground and our welfare was well taken care of, so we had no other option than to win.”

In the third-place match, Taraba State walked-over Benue State after the latter could not present a complete basketball team of at least five players.
