Head Coach of Rivers Hoopers, Ogoh Odaudu has said that all the teams at the ongoing 2024 Basketball Africa League (BAL) are on the same level, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Nigeria's representative at the ongoing 2024 BAL, Rivers Hoopers BC, achieved the historic feat of reaching their first-ever semi-final at the tournament after earning a tough 92-88 victory over former BAL champions US Monastir of Tunisia in the quarter-final. 

Odaudu, who described the teams at the playoffs as very difficult to beat is already anticipating a tough semi-final clash with Libya's Al Ahly.

"All the teams that made it to the playoffs are practically on the same level. Every game is going to be difficult. You don't expect to come at this level and blow a team.

"All the teams are fighting tooth and nail. It's just the quality of the game that is really high. Players are good and we are really happy that we won the game."

Up next for the KingsMen is a date with Libya's Al Ahly for a place in the championship game. The game will take place on Wednesday, 29th May, at the BK Arena, Kigali, Rwanda.
