LAST TIME OUT

Daniel Edozie celebrated his birthday with an excellent all-round game, amassing a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds.

BOX SCORE

WHAT THEY SAY

"They’ll be ready to come back stronger after we beat them a couple of weeks ago. We need to stay composed, execute and make sure we have 40 minutes of play.”

Raphell Thomas-Edwards.
